Confronting the Inert Doublet Model with results from Run 1 of the LHC

TL;DR

This paper evaluates the Inert Doublet Model's viability by reinterpreting LHC Run 1 dilepton plus missing energy searches, providing updated constraints on its parameter space.

Contribution

It introduces a novel recasting of LHC Run 1 SUSY searches to constrain the IDM, enhancing understanding of its collider phenomenology.

Findings

New bounds on IDM parameter space from LHC data

Constraints on dark matter candidate properties

Implications for future collider searches

Abstract

The Inert Doublet Model (IDM) is a simple extension of the Standard Model (SM) that aims to address the naturalness problem, electroweak baryogenesis and accommodate a viable dark matter (DM) candidate, along with a rich phenomenlogy in terms of collider signatures. In this note, we address the constraints on the IDM by recasting dilepton + missing energy searches performed for Supersymmetry at LHC run-1 using Madanalysis5.
