This Letter presents results from a combination of searches for Higgs boson pair production using 126$-$140 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector. At 95% confidence level (CL), the upper limit on the production rate is 2.9 times the standard model (SM) prediction, with an expected limit of 2.4 assuming no Higgs boson pair production. Constraints on the Higgs boson self-coupling modifier $\kappa_{\lambda}=\lambda_{HHH}/\lambda_{HHH}^\mathrm{SM}$, and the quartic $HHVV$ coupling modifier $\kappa_{2V}=g_{HHVV}/g_{HHVV}^\mathrm{SM}$, are derived individually, fixing the other parameter to its SM value. The observed 95% CL intervals are $-1.2 < \kappa_{\lambda} < 7.2$ and $0.6 < \kappa_{2V} < 1.5$, respectively, while the expected intervals are $-1.6 < \kappa_{\lambda} < 7.2$ and $0.4 < \kappa_{2V} < 1.6$ in the SM case. Constraints obtained for several interaction parameters within Higgs effective field theory are the strongest to date, offering insights into potential deviations from SM predictions.

  1. 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).

  2. Measurement of the $b$-jet identification efficiency in dileptonic $t\bar{t}$ events using proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13.6$ TeV collected with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0

    The GN2 b-jet tagger is calibrated in 56 fb⁻¹ of 13.6 TeV pp data using dileptonic tt̄ events, yielding data-to-simulation scale factors of 0.9–1.3 with ~1% uncertainty in the best bins.

  3. Alignment and Enhanced Multi-Higgs Production

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In extended scalar sectors near the alignment limit, higher-dimensional interactions can make two-, three-, or four-Higgs final states the dominant discovery mode at the LHC via gluon fusion.

  4. Probing new physics in the Boosted $HH \to b\bar{b}\gamma\gamma$ channel at the LHC

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0

    A dedicated boosted-jet category in HH→bbγγ is projected to narrow the κ2V constraint to [-0.4, 2.6] at 95% CL and improve heavy-resonance limits by 1–2x at 308 fb⁻¹.

  5. 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.

  6. 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].
