Abstract

After the extraordinary discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC, the next goal is to pin down its underlying dynamics by measuring the Higgs self-couplings, along with its couplings to gauge and matter particles. As a prototype model of new physics in the scalar sector, we consider the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) with CP-conservation, and evaluate the prospects for measuring the trilinear scalar couplings among the CP-even Higgs bosons hh and HH (λhhh\lambda^{hhh}, λhhH\lambda^{hhH}, λhHH\lambda^{hHH}) at LHC14. The continuum and resonant production of CP-even Higgs boson pairs, hhhh and hHhH, offer complementary probes of the scalar potential away from the light-Higgs decoupling limit. We identify the viable search channels at LHC14 and estimate their expected discovery sensitivities.
