TL;DR
This paper discusses the inert doublet model, an extension of the Standard Model with a second Higgs doublet, exploring its potential to explain Dark Matter without involving quarks or leptons.
Contribution
It introduces and analyzes the inert doublet model as a minimal extension of the Standard Model for Dark Matter explanation.
Findings
The inert doublet model can account for Dark Matter.
The model is a minimal and viable extension of the Standard Model.
It isolates the Higgs sector's role in Dark Matter without quark or lepton couplings.
Abstract
The inert doublet model is an extension of the Standard Model of Elementary Particles that is defined by the only addition of a second Higgs doublet without couplings to quarks or leptons. This minimal framework has been studied for many reasons. In particular, it has been suggested that the new degrees of freedom contained in this doublet can account for the Dark Matter of the Universe.
