Heavy Inert Doublet Reconciles LZ and IceCube

Why it is here
Replacing the thermal Higgsino with a heavier scalar electroweak doublet preserves the Z-mediated recoil shape but reduces the solar-neutrino tension.
Machine-assisted summary
A scalar inert doublet with a roughly 370 keV splitting fits the recoil for 11.3–20.3 TeV dark matter; its lower number density weakens solar capture enough to satisfy IceCube while a large Higgs coupling sets the thermal abundance.
