Collider Constraints
Branching Ratio (BR) of the Higgs invisible decays:
BRh→inv = Γh→inv
Γh→SM+ Γh→inv
Case 1 : mH = 125 GeV with both h andS2 lighter, both decays H →hh andH →S2S2 to be considered
Case 2 : mh= 125 GeV, only the decayh →S2S2 is relevant Fixing λ01= 0.008 (0.04) formH = 80 GeV (250 GeV) : consistent with Vacuum stability

Dark matter phenomenology : Relic abundance
Relic Abundance :
Ωh2 = 1.07×109 xf
√g∗mplhσvi
where xf = mTS2,mpl is the Planck mass.
DM annihilates to SM particles only through scalar portal interactions Relevant channels : s-channel diagrams withh and H as propagators andbb,¯ ττ¯,W+W−,ZZ,hH,hh andHH as final states
For DM mass around 40 Gev, dominant contributions to the annihilation cross section will arise from thebb¯ andττ¯channels Breit-Wigner resonance : plays an important role in enhancing the velocity averaged cross section of DM-DM annihilation

Conclusion
we studied a simple scalar extension of the SM with two real singlets S1 andS2 with aZ2×Z20 symmetry
Z20 remains unbroken enabling the scalarS2 to be a viable dark matter candidate
Coupling λ01 is constrained to lie in the 10−1−10−2 range, by virtue of vacuum stability
Direct bounds from the Higgs invisible branching ratios forces λ02≈10−2−10−3
Direct detection constraint is relaxed to a great extent by the destructive interference between the two t-channel h andH
propagators while the Breit-Wigner resonance helps to get the correct relic abundance
Two singlet model can also account for the gamma-ray excess for an S2 in the mass range 36−51 GeV
