Abstract
This study explores a minimal renormalizable dark matter (DM) model, incorporating a sub-GeV Majorana DM and a singlet scalar particle ϕ. Using scalar and pseudo-scalar interactions (couplings cs and cp), we investigate implications for DM detection, considering s-wave, p-wave, and combined (s+p wave) contributions in DM annihilation cross-section, as well as loop-correction contributions to DM-nucleon elastic scattering. Identifying a broad parameter space (10 MeV < mχ ≲ mϕ) within the 2σ allowed region, we explore scenarios (|cs| ≫ |cp|, |cs| ≪ |cp|, and |cs| ≈ |cp|). We find that (i) a non-zero pseudo-scalar coupling alleviates direct detection constraints as a comparison with the previous pure scalar coupling case; (ii) CMB observations set stringent limits on pseudo-scalar interaction dominant cases, making s-wave annihilation viable only for mχ > 1 GeV; (iii) the preferred ϕ-resonance region can be tested in the future indirect detection experiments, such as e-ASTROGAM.
