| contents | We propose the complex singlet-extended 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (cS2HDM), a spin-0 Dark Matter (DM) model with a Higgs sector consisting of two Higgs doublets and a complex singlet, as a benchmark for LHC DM searches. The model predicts a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone DM candidate whose interactions with nuclei are naturally suppressed, while allowing for all sources of CP-violation under the assumption of flavour alignment in the Yukawa sector, which enables CP-violating interactions of the Higgs bosons even in the alignment limit. This feature makes the model attractive for studies of electroweak baryogenesis while accommodating a Higgs-portal DM candidate with standard thermal freeze-out. We confront the model with a comprehensive set of theoretical and experimental constraints, including Higgs-boson signal strength measurements, searches for additional Higgs bosons, DM relic abundance and direct detection, as well as electroweak precision observables and the electron EDM, with emphasis on the impact of the new CP-violating sources. For DM direct detection, we perform a one-loop computation of DM-nucleon scattering including CP-violating effects. We provide a public software package to facilitate future phenomenological studies of the cS2HDM. |
