Description

Exploring the Higgs boson potential and electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism are the main goals of the LHC. Higgs pair production (HH) provides experimental access to the shape of Higgs potential as it is the only direct probe of the Higgs self-coupling in proton-proton collisions. In this talk, I will discuss the latest results on the searches for HH production with the ATLAS experiment. Two searches for different HH final states, 𝑏𝑏 ̄𝜏+𝜏− and 𝑏𝑏 ̄𝛾𝛾, are combined to produce the most stringent limits on Standard Model HH production and the Higgs self-coupling to date. Based on these recent results, I will also discuss our projected sensitivity to HH production with future runs of LHC and at the HL-LHC.
