Abstract

Scalar dark matter (DM) in a theory introduces hierarchy problems, and suffers from the inability to predict the preferred mass range for the DM. In a WIMP-like minimal scalar DM setup we show that the infinite derivative theory can predict the DM mass and its coupling. The scale of nonlocality $(M)$ $(M)$ in such a theory in its lowermost limit (constrained by LHC) implies a DM mass $\sim$ $\sim$ TeV and a coupling with the Standard Model (SM) Higgs $λ_{HS} \sim 1 0^{- 2}$ $λ_{HS} \sim 1 0^{- 2}$ . Planned DM direct detection experiments reaching such sensitivity in the DM will effectively translate into lower bounds on the scale at which the nonlocality comes into the play.
