Update on the CP-Violating Inert-Doublet Model

Abstract

We have updated a recently proposed extension of the Inert Doublet Model. The extension amounts to the addition of an extra non-inert scalar doublet. The model thus offers a possibility of CP violation in the scalar sector and a candidate for the Dark Matter. The recent XENON100 direct-detection experiment excludes a considerable range of medium-low dark-matter masses, leaving only as viable very low masses of order 5-10 GeV, as well as the regions from \sim 60 to \sim 110 GeV, and above \sim 530 GeV. For favorable parameter regions one may observe related long-lived charged particles produced at the LHC.Comment: Contribution to PoS Proceedings, The XXth International Workshop High Energy Physics and Quantum Field Theory, September 24 - October 1, 2011, Sochi, Russi
