Probing Higgs Self Coupling at the LHC and future Colliders Jung Chang, KC, Jae Sik Lee, Chih-Ting Lu, 1505.00957; in preparation.
Higgs Mechanism The most important pillar of the Standard Model. The SM fermions and bosons acquire a mass. The theory obeys the SM symmetries, but just the vacuum state takes on a specific configuration chosen by the Nature.
Current Status of Higgs Mechanism The scalar sector Lagrangian L Φ = D µ Φ 2 V (Φ) +L Y where V (Φ) =µ 2 Φ 2 + λ Φ 4 and ( D µ = µ + ieqa µ + i g ) (τ + W + µ + τ W µ )+i g τ 3 2 cos θ w 2 sin2 θ w Φ develops a true vacuum at Φ = 1 2 ( The mass and interactions of gauge bosons are fixed Z µ ( ) 0,wherev = µ 2 /λ. v + H(x) ( 1 L =(v 2 +2vH + H 2 ) 4 g2 W + µ W µ + 1 ) 8 g2 z Zµ Z µ
The mass and interactions of fermions are also fixed in L Y : L Y = y ev 2 (e L e R + e R e L ) y e 2 H (e L e R + e R e L ) So far, the gauge boson couplings and b, τ,t Yukawa couplings are consistent with data.

Higgs Sector Itself We have no information about V (Φ) except that it gives a nontrivial VEV. In the SM, V (φ) = λ 4 v4 + 1 2 m2 H H2 + m2 H 2v H3 + λ 4 H4 This is the simplest structure. The self couplings are fixed. But for extended Higgs sector it is not the case. Probing self interactions of the Higgs boson becomes an important avenue to understand the Higgs sector.

Kinematics of the signal diagram Attempt to isolate the Higgs self coupling in the triangle diagram. The triangle diagram has the 1/s behavior, so more profound at low invariant mass region. Thus, the angular separation between the decay product is larger: HH (γγ)(b b)

Outlook Probing the self-interactions of the Higgs boson is necessary for understanding the EWSB sector. The sensitivity in VBF is better than ggf, but event rate is low. Need to combine with other channels, e.g. tthh, WHH, ZHH, etc. HL-LHC, 100 TeV, ILC analyses are all needed.
