Welcome to Fermilab Double Higgs Production at Colliders Workshop Marcela Carena, Theoretical Physics Department September 4, 2018 The SM is Omnipresent • The last seven particle colliders (three B factories, LEP, SLC,Tevatron, and LHC) have so far seen no conclusive evidence of Beyond the SM phenomena in the laboratory • This is at least somewhat surprising for LHC, since strong arguments based on naturalness imply that the Higgs boson should be accompanied by BSM physics at a similar scale, ~ TeV • The only BSM physics observed so far in the lab is neutrino mass (from neutrino flavor change) • Some deviations in the flavor sector are intriguing, but not conclusive Question: Answer: • Higgs BSM Physics motivation for the next • Neutrinos and generation of Energy and Intensity • Dark matter Flavor Frontier machines? 2 9/4/18 Marcela | Welcome to Fermilab Higgs Its existence implies the Higgs mechanism, a very sophisticated property of the quantum vacuum It implies a phase transition in the early universe of unknown origin Obviously, it should be a top priority of HEP to detect, measure, and understand the detailed physics tied to the Higgs • Detect and measure with precision the various decay modes of the Higgs boson, including “invisible” decays. • Detect the Higgs self-coupling; constrain directly the Higgs potential • Detect evidence of Higgs compositeness ? • Find heavier (or lighter?) additional Higgs bosons LHC and HL-LHC can tell us a lot, but will not be definitive for any of these challenges 3 9/4/18 Marcela | Welcome to Fermilab Many Colliders in the Horizon The Road Ahead CLIC ILC μ-collider HE-LHC LHC HL-LHC FCC (ee, hh, eh) CEPC SppC 2015 2025 2035 2045 2055 Year 8 Markus Klute, 2016 4 9/4/18 Marcela | Welcome to Fermilab Di-Higgs Bauer, MC, Carmona (1801.00363) MC, Liu, Riembau (1801.00794) Di-Higgs production in extended Higgs sectors • Correlation between enhanced Higgs-fermion couplings and di-Higgs production in 2HDM w/ flavour symmetry • Visible in resonant & non-resonant, dedicated LHC searches • Interference effects in SM + Singlet extends sensitivity of di-higgs in first order phase transition region, at HL-LHC 1801.00363 1801.00794 12.5 h + H NLO h + H GeV] / 10.0 h [pb H 3 − 7.5 10 ⇥ 5.0 hh /dm 2.5 Based on σ d pp à HHà bbγγ, 0.0 [1502.00539] 300 400 500 600 700 mhh [GeV] 5 9/4/18 Marcela | Welcome to Fermilab This Workshop: Discuss recent results, analysis techniques and theoretical . calculations of HH production.
