In such a degenerate-scalar scenario we explore the model parameter space which satisfies constraints from the direct detection experiments and the relic density of dark matter. In addition, we discuss a possibility to verify such a scenario by using the recoil-mass technique at the International Linear Collider. We find that a pair of states separated by 0.2 GeV can be distinguished from the single SM-like Higgs state at 5σ with an integrated luminosity of 2 ab-1.}, title = {Probing a degenerate-scalar scenario in a pseudoscalar dark-matter model}, volume = {104}, year = {2021} }
