Title:     Constraining models with an additional large electroweak scalar multiplet

Abstract: Models with a single additional large electroweak scalar multiplet provide a simple extension to the Standard Model. Such models may also provide a natural dark matter candidate. The additional particles in the multiplet will have some effect on electroweak processes in the Standard Model. It is then of great interest to determine what constraints, if any, are to be placed on these models. This talk will examine two different classes of models: those with an accidental U(1) symmetry, and those with an imposed Z_2 symmetry. Constraints arising from theoretical requirements as well as direct and indirect experimental measurements will be discussed.
