Abstract

The quartic Higgs-gauge-boson coupling ghhWWg_{hhWW} is sensitive to the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism, however, it is challenging to be measured at the large hadron collider. We show that the coupling can be well probed at future lepton colliders through di-Higgs boson production via the vector boson fusion channel. We perform a detailed simulation of +ννˉhh4b+ ⁣ ⁣̸ ⁣ ⁣ET\ell^+\ell^-\to \nu\bar\nu hh\to 4b\,+ \!\!\not{\!\! E}_T with parton showering effects at e+ee^+e^-, μ+μ\mu^+\mu^- and eμ+e^-\mu^+ colliders. We find that the regions of ghhWW/ghhWWSM<0.86g_{hhWW}/g_{hhWW}^{\rm SM}<0.86 and ghhWW/ghhWWSM>1.32g_{hhWW}/g_{hhWW}^{\rm SM}>1.32 can be discovered at the 5σ5\sigma confidence level at the 10 TeV μ+μ\mu^+ \mu^- collider with an integrated luminosity of 3 ab1^{-1}.
