Abstract

Higgs boson pair production is well known to probe the structure of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector. We illustrate using the gluon-fusion process ppHhh(bbˉ)(bbˉ)pp \to H \to h h \to (b\bar b) (b\bar b) in the framework of two-Higgs-doublet models and how the machine learning approach (three-stream convolutional neural network) can substantially improve the signal-background discrimination and thus improves the sensitivity coverage of the relevant parameter space. We show that such gghhbbˉbbˉgg \to hh \to b \bar b b\bar b process can further probe the currently allowed parameter space by HiggsSignals and HiggsBounds at the HL-LHC. The results for Types I to IV are shown.
