In our A(4) example the standard model is extended by three extra Higgs doublets and the Z(2) parity emerges as a remnant of the spontaneous breaking of A(4) after electroweak symmetry breaking. We perform an analysis of the parameter space of the model consistent with electroweak precision tests, collider searches and perturbativity. We determine the regions compatible with the observed relic dark matter density and we present prospects for detection in direct as well as indirect Dark Matter search experiments.", optnote="ISI:000291364300037", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=674), last updated on Tue, 02 Aug 2011 15:49:16 +0000", issn="1126-6708", doi="10.1007/JHEP05(2011)037", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1101.2874", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP05(2011)037", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1101.2874", language="English" }
