This paper investigates the detection strategies for scalar dark matter, focusing on direct and indirect detection methods. It highlights the significant potential to observe gamma-ray emissions from dark matter annihilation, particularly within a specified mass range of 92 to 300 GeV, showing that this minimal scalar dark matter model can yield clear predictions for future experiments. The study emphasizes the need for refined experimental searches in this mass region to validate the proposed theoretical framework.
