Abstract

We present the implementation of Higgs boson pair production in gluon fusion within a non-linear Effective Field Theory framework containing five anomalous couplings for this process. The code, available within the POWHEG-BOX-V2, includes full NLO QCD corrections with massive top quarks. All five couplings can be modified by the user. We show mhhm_{hh} distributions at seven benchmark points provided by an mhhm_{hh} shape analysis at NLO and showered pThhp_T^{hh} distributions resulting from an interface to Pythia-8 and Herwig-7.2.
