摘要

Following the discovery of a Higgs boson, there has been renewed interest in the general 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM). A model with One Inert Doublet plus One Higgs Doublet (I(1+1) HDM), where one of the scalar doublets is %26quot;inert%26quot; (since it has no vacuum expectation value and does not couple to fermions) has an advantage over the 2HDM since it provides a good Dark Matter (DM) candidate, namely the lightest inert scalar. Motivated by the existence of three fermion families, here we consider a model with two scalar doublets plus one Higgs doublet (I(2+1) HDM), where the two scalar doublets are inert. The I(2+1) HDM has a richer phenomenology than either the I(1+1) HDM or the 2HDM. We discuss the new regions of DM relic density in the I(2+1) HDM with simplified couplings and address the possibility of constraining the model using recent results from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and DM direct detection experiments.
