Abstract
We revisit the two real singlet extension of the Standard Model with a Z2×Z2′ symmetry. One of the singlet scalars S<inf>2</inf>, by virtue of an unbroken Z2′ symmetry, plays the role of a stable dark matter candidate. The other scalar S<inf>1</inf>, with spontaneously broken Z<inf>2</inf>-symmetry, mixes with the SM Higgs boson and acts as the scalar mediator. We analyze the model by putting in the entire set of theoretical and recent experimental constraints. The latest bounds from direct detection Xenon1T experiment severely restricts the allowed region of parameter space of couplings. To ensure the dark matter satisfies the relic abundance criterion, we rely on the Breit-Wigner enhanced annihilation cross-section. Further, we study the viability of explaining the observed gamma-ray excess in the galactic center in this model with a dark matter of mass in the ∼ 36 − 51 GeV window and present our conclusions.
