Abstract

We set constraints on the trilinear Higgs boson self-coupling, λ3\lambda_3, by combining the information coming from the WW mass and leptonic effective Weinberg angle, electroweak precision observables, with the single Higgs boson analyses targeting the γγ,ZZ,WW,τ+τ\gamma \gamma,\, ZZ^*,\, WW^*, \,\tau^+ \tau^- and bˉb\bar{b} b decay channels and the double Higgs boson analyses in the bbˉbbˉ,bbˉbτ+τb\bar{b}b\bar{b}, \, b\bar{b}b \tau^+ \tau^- and bbˉbγγb\bar{b}b \gamma \gamma decay channels, performed by the ATLAS collaboration. With the assumption that the new physics affects only the Higgs potential, values outside the interval 1.8λ3SM<λ3<9.2λ3SM -1.8\, \lambda_3^{\rm SM} < \lambda_3 < 9.2 \, \lambda_3^{\rm SM} are excluded at 95%95\% confidence level. With respect to similar analyses that do not include the information coming from the electroweak precision observables our analysis shows a stronger constraint on both positive and negative values of λ3\lambda_3.
