abstract

A search for nonresonant Higgs boson pair production in the $b\bar{b}b\bar{b}$ final state is presented. The analysis uses 126 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s}={13}$ TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, and targets both the gluon-gluon fusion and vector-boson fusion production modes. No evidence of the signal is found and the observed (expected) upper limit on the cross-section for nonresonant Higgs boson pair production is determined to be 5.4 (8.1) times the Standard Model predicted cross-section at 95% confidence level. Constraints are placed on modifiers to the $HHH$ and $HHVV$ couplings. The observed (expected) $2\sigma$ constraints on the $HHH$ coupling modifier, $\kappa_\lambda$, are determined to be $[-3.5, 11.3]$ ($[-5.4, 11.4]$), while the corresponding constraints for the $HHVV$ coupling modifier, $\kappa_{2V}$, are $[-0.0, 2.1]$ ($[-0.1, 2.1]$). In addition, constraints on relevant coefficients are derived in the context of the Standard Model effective field theory and Higgs effective field theory, and upper limits on the $HH$ production cross-section are placed in seven Higgs effective field theory benchmark scenarios.

  1. A new probe of the quartic Higgs self-coupling

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A two-loop calculation of the Higgs wave-function renormalization opens a new, indirect probe of the quartic Higgs self-coupling through single-Higgs production at the FCC.

  2. Search for new scalars via $X \rightarrow SH \rightarrow b\bar{b}b\bar{b}$ in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    No excess over background is found in ATLAS's first search for X→SH→4b, which sets 95% CL upper limits of 0.7 fb–2.6 pb on the production cross-section times branching ratio.

  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 of 10

    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. Searching for Di-Higgs Signatures of Light Charged Scalars

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A roughly 130 GeV charged Higgs explaining the ATLAS t to bH+ excess and B-meson anomalies can be constrained, and perhaps discovered, by recasting SM di-Higgs 4b searches at the LHC.

  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 of 10

    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.

    The thesis projects 5-sigma discovery reaches at the HL-LHC for charged Higgs pairs, Flavon decays, and h->eµ, using BDT-based event selection in the 2HDM-III and Froggatt-Nielsen models.
