Higgs pair production at the High Luminosity LHC
CMS Collaboration
October 2015

Abstract: Studies of the Higgs boson pair production and decays into $\mathrm{bb}\gamma\gamma$ , $\mathrm{bb}\tau\tau$ , and $\mathrm{bb}\mathrm{W}\mathrm{W}$ final states are presented. The studies are performed assuming the operational conditions of the High-Luminosity LHC, with an integrated luminosity of 3000 fb $^{-1}$ , and the upgraded CMS experiment. Combining the studies of $\mathrm{bb}\gamma\gamma$ and $\mathrm{bb}\tau\tau$ final states, the expected significance for Higgs boson pair production is 1.9 standard deviation. The resulting expected uncertainty in the signal yield is 54%. The benefits of the CMS Phase-II upgrade, to meet the challenges presented by the high luminosity environment, are emphasized.
