Higgs portals for thermal Dark Matter. EFT perspectives and the NMSSM

Abstract We analyze a low energy effective model of Dark Matter in which the thermal relic density is provided by a singlet Majorana fermion which interacts with the Higgs fields via higher dimensional operators. Direct detection signatures may be reduced if blind spot solutions exist, which natural...
