Description
In this talk, I will present an investigation into finite width and interference effects in di-Higgs production at the LHC, with a particular focus on the real Higgs singlet extension of the Standard Model. This extension enhances di-Higgs production through the resonant decays of an additional heavy scalar into two SM-like Higgs bosons. The study examines the impact of interference between non-resonant and resonant diagrams, revealing that this interference has a significant effect on the cross-sections and differential distributions at the LHC. Additionally, I will introduce a new tool that employs a matrix-element reweighting method, enabling the efficient modeling of interference effects in computational simulations.
