Constraining Scalar Singlet Dark Matter with CDMS, XENON and DAMA and Prediction for Direct Detection Rates

Understand

We consider a simplest extension of the Standard Model (SM) through the incorporation of a real scalar singlet and an additional discrete $Z_2$ symmetry.

• The model admits the neutral scalar singlet to be stable and thus, a viable component of dark matter.
• We explore the parameter space of the model keeping in view the constraints arise from different dark matter direct detection experiments through WIMP-nucleon scattering.
• First of all, we have utilised the data obtained from CDMS, XENON-10 and XENON-100 collaborations.
