We present the calculation of the full next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to Higgs boson pair production via gluon fusion at the LHC, including the exact top-mass dependence in the two-loop virtual and one-loop real corrections. This is the first independent cross-check of the NLO QCD corrections presented in the literature before. Our calculation relies on numerical integrations of Feynman integrals, stabilised with integration-by-parts and a Richardson extrapolation to the narrow width approximation. We present results for the total cross section as well as for the invariant Higgs-pair-mass distribution at the LHC, including for the first time a study of the uncertainty due to the scheme and scale choice for the top mass in the loops.

  1. Electroweak corrections to Higgs boson pair production: The quark channel

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Mixed QCD-EW corrections to qqbar -> HH computed analytically via differential equations, matched to large-mass limit, implemented in POWHEG-BOX, showing up to +10% effect on invariant mass distribution near threshold.

  2. Fully differential Higgs boson pair production at N$^3$LO with top quark mass effects

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0

    First fully differential N3LO QCD predictions for gg->hh in the heavy-top limit, with NLO top-mass effects added; heavy-top scale uncertainty shrinks about 3x, to roughly 1-3%.

  3. Search for nonresonant triple Higgs boson production in the final state with six bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    No excess is observed; the 95% CL upper limit on nonresonant HHH→6b is 44 fb (588×SM), with κ3 constrained to −7.4 < κ3 < 12.4 (κ4=1) and κ4 to −177 < κ4 < 185 (κ3=1).

  4. Improved analysis of non-resonant Higgs boson pair production in the $b\bar{b}\tau^+\tau^-$ final state with $196$ fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV and 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 4.5

    ATLAS finds μ_HH = 2.6^{+1.4}_{-1.0} in bbττ with Run 2+3 data, 2.6σ over background-only, and first 3.5σ evidence for ZH in this final state.

  5. Study of Higgs boson pair production in the $HH \rightarrow b \overline{b} \gamma \gamma$ final state with 308 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV and 13.6 TeV by the ATLAS experiment

    hep-ex 2025-07 accept novelty 4.0

    Updated ATLAS search for HH → bbγγ with 308 fb⁻¹ yields observed μ_HH = 0.9^{+1.4}_{-1.1}, 95% CL limit μ_HH < 3.7, and κ_λ in [-1.6, 6.6].
