Abstract

Full one-loop electroweak radiative corrections to μμ+W±Whh\mu^- \mu^+ \to W^\pm W^\mp \to hh in the Standard Model are computed for the first time in this work. We then evaluate neutral scalar pair production through vector boson fusion at multi--TeV muon colliders within Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (THDM). In the phenomenological analysis, the enhancement factor, defined as the ratio of the cross sections for SM-like Higgs pair production in the THDM with respect to the corresponding ones in the SM, is examined over the viable regions of the parameter space in the Type-X and Type-Y THDMs. Our findings show that this ratio can reach a factor of 33 in several regions within the valid parameter space of the Type-X THDM, whereas it ranges from 0.910.91 to 0.960.96 over the entire parameter space of the Type-Y THDM. Finally, we scan the cross sections for double CP-odd Higgs production over the updated parameter space of the Type-X and Type-Y THDMs. In the Type-Y case at s=10\sqrt{s} = 10~TeV with an integrated luminosity of L=10000 fb1\mathcal{L} = 10000~\text{fb}^{-1}, CP-odd Higgs pair production in the ttˉbbˉt\bar{t}b\bar{b} final state, with subsequent top-quark decays into leptons and bottom quarks taken into account, can be tested with a statistical significance exceeding the 2σ2\sigma level at several viable parameter points.
