The two-real-singlet Dark Matter model

We revisit a Dark Matter model with an extension of the Standard Model with two real singlets χ and η obeying a Z2⊗Z2′ symmetry, where Z2′ is broken spontaneously. While χ serves as a stable Dark Matter candidate providing the relic density, the real η field plays the role of a light mediator. We study the viability of this model with respect to Dark Matter self-interactions which may explain the density profiles observed in dwarf galaxies up to scales of the size of our Milky Way. Moreover, the Standard Model-like Higgs boson of the model has a tiny mixing with the mediator field and appears to be consistent with current LHC data. In this rather minimal extension of the Standard Model the mediator η decays naturally into Majorana neutrinos neither disturbing standard big bang nucleosynthesis nor cosmic microwave background observations.
