Title: Exploring the Higgs Self-Coupling and Looking for New Physics

Abstract: This talk presents the analysis of non-resonant Higgs boson pair (HH) probing the Higgs self-coupling, using data from the ATLAS detector at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of 140 fb^(βˆ’1). It encompasses the initial results from the HH β†’ multilepton decay channels, including both bosonic and tauonic final states, and the latest legacy analysis of 𝐻𝐻→𝑏𝑏 Μ…πœπœ. While no evidence of HH production is observed, a 95% CL upper limit is set on the signal strength. The talk will also highlight the combined analysis of HH with single-Higgs boson production, and the most stringent 2𝜎 constraints are determined for the HHH coupling modifier, πœ…_πœ†. This talk further explore an extension of Higgs physics through a preliminary study on Higgs decay to long-lived particles (LLPs) in a lepton collider using advanced machine learning techniques.

Bio: Yulei Zhang, is a joint Ph.D. student between Shanghai Jiao Tong University and UniversitΓ© Paris CitΓ©, supervised by Prof. Liang Li and Dr. Gregorio Bernardi, majored in experimental particle physics. His research primarily focuses on constraining the Higgs self-coupling and probing for new physics phenomena, including long-lived particles and dark photon search. He is currently engaged in research within the ATLAS Collaboration, concentrating on di-Higgs searches, with a leading role as the note editor of the multilepton channel. Yulei Zhang has been honored with the Outstanding Graduate Student First Grade award, Outstanding Graduate, and is a recipient of the Shanghai Municipal Government Scholarship.
