摘要

presented using proton-proton (pp) collision data at s\sqrt{s} = 13.6 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 62 fb1^{-1}. Events in which the Higgs boson decays, Httˉ\mathrm{t\bar{t}}, are separately reconstructed as pairs of small-radius jets (resolved), as well as those where they are reconstructed as single large-radius jets (merged), are studied exclusively. Benefiting from new methods in trigger selection, event selection, and signal extraction, the combination of analyses in the resolved and merged topologies gives an observed (expected) upper limit on the HH signal strength, μHH\mu_\mathrm{HH}, of 4.4 (4.4) at 95% confidence level (CL). Compared to previously published LHC results in the 4b final state, the expected limit with an equivalent integrated luminosity is improved by more than a factor of two in the resolved topology and is better in the merged topology as well. An updated analysis of the resolved topology using 138 fb1^{-1} of 13 TeV pp collision data yields an observed (expected) 95% CL upper limit on μHH\mu_\mathrm{HH} of 10.0 (5.9), an improvement of about 25% in the expected limit compared to the published results using the same data. Results in the 4b final state with 13 and 13.6 TeV are combined, resulting in an observed (expected) 95% CL upper limit on μHH\mu_\mathrm{HH} of 4.7 (2.8). The allowed ranges for the Higgs boson trilinear self-coupling and quartic coupling between two Higgs bosons and two vector bosons are also reported. These are the most stringent constraints achieved in the 4b final state to date.
