Vector-Boson Production of Light Higgs Pairs in 2-Higgs Doublet Models

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

At the Large Hadron Collider, we prove the feasibility to detect pair production of the lightest CP-even Higgs boson hh of Type II 2-Higgs Doublet Models through qq()qq()hhq q^{(')}\to q q^{(')} {hh} (vector-boson fusion). We also show that, through the hh4bhh\to 4b decay channel in presence of heavy-flavour tagging, further exploiting forward/backward jet sampling, one has direct access to the λHhh\lambda_{Hhh} triple Higgs coupling -- which constrains the form of the Higgs potential.
