A simplified 2HDM with a scalar dark matter and the galactic center gamma-ray excess

Abstract

Due to the strong constrain from the LUX experiment, the scalar portal dark matter can not generally explain a gamma-ray excess in the galactic center by the annihilation of dark matter into $b\bar{b}$. With the motivation of eliminating the tension, we add a scalar dark matter to the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model, and focus on a simplified scenario, which has two main characteristics: (i) The heavy CP-even Higgs is the discovered 125 GeV Higgs boson, which has the same couplings to the gauge bosons and fermions as the SM Higgs. (ii) Only the light CP-even Higgs mediates the dark matter interactions with SM particles, which has no couplings to $WW$ and $ZZ$, but the independent couplings to the up-type quarks, down-type quarks and charged leptons. We find that the tension between $_{SS\to b\bar{b}}$ and the constraint from LUX induced by the scalar portal dark matter can go away for the isospin-violating dark matter-nucleon coupling with $-1.0< f^n/f^p<0.7$, and the constraints from the Higgs search experiments and the relic density of Planck are also satisfied.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, 1 table; reference adde
