Description
The Inert Doublet Model (IDM) provide a rather simple and yet rich extension of the Standard Model for Dark Matter. The dark matter candidate is the lightest neutral scalar of an extra SU(2)_L doublet which is odd under an unbroken Z2 symmetry. It can account for WMAP dark matter for 3 very different mass regimes: the low mass regime with m_dm~10, the middle mass regime with m_dm~m_W, and the high mass regime m_dm>500 GeV. In my talk I would like to address the richness of the phenomenology of the IDM and I will show how the constraints and the prospects for detection can vary with the mass range of interest.
