The minimal model
Extension of the SM scalar sector by a scalar S :3
Singlet under the GSM.
Charged under a global, softly broken U(1) symmetry.
Invariant potential:
V0 = −µ2H
2|H|2 +
λ2H
2|H|4 −
µ2S
2|S |2 +
λS2|S |4 + λHS |H|2|S |2 .
Softly breaking term:
Vsoft = −µ′ 2S4
S2 + h.c.
Observation:There is one phase that can be absorbed in S → CP–invariance!

Goldstone bosons couple proportionally to the momentum (butsome cancellations still have to occur).

SU(2)
The doublet Φ acquires a VEV:
Φ =1√2

),
resulting to mixing between the ρ and h.
DM content:
Three pseudo-Goldstone bosons.
No CP-invariance (as in the minimal case), but emergence ofa Z2.
The interaction terms are invariant under orthogonaltransformations → All pseudo-Goldstone bosons are stable
(Z(1)2 × Z

The h − ρ mass matrix is similar to the minimal U(1) case →vanishing of the direct detection cross section for all DMparticles!

Conclusion
There are models that can explain the missing WIMP signal.
Naturally stable DM particles.
It seems to be fairly easy to find such models (WIMPparadigm is still alive).
No fine tuning.

Open questions
What happens if Φ is in another representation of SU(2) (e.g.SU(2)-triplet)?
Phenomenological analysis (e.g. LHC detectability).
Loop corrections to the scalar potential (also important fordirect detection).
The origin of the soft breaking terms.
Any other models with the desirable attributes?
