Abstract [eng] We consider an extension of the Standard Model by an additional Higgs doublet and a Majorana neutrino, which we call the Grimus–Neufeld Model (GNM). For certain parameter choices the GNM can be compared to the Inert Doublet Model (IDM), which has a scalar dark matter candidate. This motivates that the scalars of the GNM could possibly contribute to dark matter. To check this, we present the tree level two-body decays of the heavy scalars of the GNM and compute the lifetime of the pseudoscalar in the IDM limit.
