Description of the model

This is simplified dark matter models for NLO.

The mixed spin-0 mediator model is a LO model for MadDM with the inclusion of effective ggY and aaY couplings.

Our lagrangian consists of different types of DM:

• Xr (real scalar DM)
• Xc (complex scalar DM)
• Xd (Dirac spinor DM)
• Xm (Majorana spinor DM) [to be done.]
• Xv (vector DM)
• ...

and different types of mediators:

• s-channel
  • Y0 (spin-0)
  • Y1 (spin-1)
  • Y2 (spin-2)
  • ...

• t-channel [to be done.]
