We perform the combined analysis of the double Higgs production via gluon fusion in the $b\bar{b} \gamma\gamma$ and $b\bar{b}\tau^+\tau^-$ decay channels at the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). To validate our analysis, we reproduce the ATLAS…
Double Higgs production is challenging even at the High Luminosity LHC. The Standard Model (SM) $hh\to b\bar{b}WW(ZZ)\to b\bar{b}\ell\ell\nu\nu$ has a moderate cross section compared to other decay modes, but its backgrounds, mainly top…
