Abstract

We consider what multiple Higgs interactions may yet reveal about the scalar sector. We estimate the sensitivity of a Feynman topology-templated analysis of weak boson Higgs pair production at present and future colliders - where the signal is a function of the Higgs coupling modifiers κV\kappa_V, κ2V\kappa_{2V}, and κλ\kappa_\lambda. While measurements are statistically limited at the LHC, they are under general perturbative control at present and future colliders, departures from the SM expectation give rise to a significant future potential for BSM discrimination in κ2V\kappa_{2V}. We explore the landscape of BSM models in the space of deviations in κV\kappa_V, κ2V\kappa_{2V}, and κλ\kappa_\lambda, highlighting models that have measurable order-of-magnitude enhancements in either κ2V\kappa_{2V} or κλ\kappa_\lambda, relative to their deviation in the single Higgs coupling κV\kappa_V.
