Description

The Standard Model predicts non-resonant production of Higgs boson pairs, which provides a handle to directly measure the shape of the Higgs potential. Numerous BSM models predict new scalar fields with couplings that lead to the simultaneous production of scalar bosons. The ATLAS and CMS Collaborations have active search programs targeting multi-scalar-boson production. This talk provides and overview of these searches and their interpretations including SM HH production, resonant HH production, and the pair production of additional scalar bosons.
