Description
A direct probe of the Higgs boson trilinear self-coupling is possible via Higgs boson pair production, making di-Higgs analyses particularly interesting. In addition, HH production via vector boson fusion, the second-leading HH production process, has a unique sensitivity to the interaction between two Higgs bosons and two vector bosons. Furthermore, enhancements to the di-Higgs production rate would point to new physics beyond the Standard Model, making such analyses interesting at the LHC This talks presents a search for non-resonant production of Higgs boson pair in the two bottom quarks plus two photons final state using the full Run 2 dataset and partial Run 3 dataset. EFT interpretations are also discussed.
