Abstract

We study the sensitivity of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) to an additional neutral Higgs boson HH through the vector boson fusion process e+eHννˉe^+e^- \to H\nu\bar \nu, followed by the decay HW+WH \to W^+W^-, with both WW bosons decaying leptonically, resulting in a dilepton plus missing transverse energy final state. Within the framework of the Two Higgs Doublet Model, where both production and decay are governed by the Higgs mixing angle cos(βα)\cos(\beta-\alpha), we perform a detector-level analysis and show that a high-energy CLIC can probe HH via this channel, allowing a direct measurement of the HWWHWW coupling.
