Description

The study of the resonant production of Higgs boson (h) pairs represents an important way to test a broad range of models of physics beyond the standard model (BSM) and offers an unique way to explore the properties of the scalar sector.
The searches for resonances decaying into a pair of Higgs bosons with the CMS experiment will be presented in this talk. Both the results established with the data from pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV (Run I) and the latest results from 13 TeV collisions (Run II) will be presented. The talk will cover the analyses of different decay modes of the hh pair, that will be compared and interpreted in some of the main BSM models that motivate the search for hh resonant production.
