At the Large Hadron Collider, we prove the feasibility to detect pair production of the lightest CP-even Higgs boson h of Type II 2-Higgs Doublet Models through qq(′)→qq(′)hh (vector-boson fusion). We also show that, through the hh→4b decay channel in presence of heavy-flavour tagging, further exploiting forward/backward jet sampling, one has direct access to the λHhh triple Higgs coupling -- which constrains the form of the Higgs potential.
