Abstract

In this note, ZHH\mathrm{ZHH} production in the all-hadronic final state is studied in e+e\mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-} collisions at the Compact Linear Collider at the 3 TeV stage. At this stage this Higgs boson pair production mode is sub-leading to the W+W\mathrm{W}^{+}\mathrm{W}^{-} fusion production cross-section of e+eHHνν\mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-}\rightarrow\mathrm{HH}\nu\nu. The events are characterised by a topology of six jets, where the masses of the three pair-wise combinations of two jets are compatible with originating from two H\mathrm{H} and one Z\mathrm{Z} bosons. The event selection concentrates on the dominant H\mathrm{H} boson decays into two b-quarks by requiring a presence of multiple b-jets. The study is based on full simulation using the CLICdet model, including beam-induced backgrounds from γγhadrons\gamma\gamma\rightarrow\mathrm{hadrons}. Results on the measurement of the total ZHH\mathrm{ZHH} cross section are given.
