The Minimal Inert Doublet Model • Standard Model with 2 Higgs doublets • 2 symmetry All SM fields are even (e. g. no H 2/quark couplings) • Vacuum and Stable Higgs (the shiggs)
• The Inert Doublet Model • What is it good for? • Dark matters • Results • B
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking I W, Z + + 0 May push Mhiggs up to 600 Ge. V H 0
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking II V 1 -loop (h) V(h) H 2 h h h Large effects from top quark Need large quartic couplings for Mh> 115 Ge. V

There many dark matter candidates and even more baryogenesis scenarii yet They do not explain why Between 10 -6 e. V and 1019 Ge. V QCD dynamics DM interactions (from weak, to superweak, to gravitational) CP violation, non-equilibrium dynamics, B violation
