Abstract: Searches for resonant and non-resonant pair-produced Higgs bosons (hh) decaying respectively into $\mathrm{b}\overline{\mathrm{b}}$ and VV (with V either a W or a Z boson), with subsequent VV decays into two leptons and two neutrinos, are presented. The analyses are based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb$^{-1}$. Data and predictions from the standard model are in agreement within uncertainties. For the standard model hh hypothesis, the data are observed (expected) to exclude a production cross-section times branching ratio of 72 (81$^{+42}_{-25}$) fb, corresponding to 79 (89$^{+47}_{-28}$) times the SM cross section. Lack of deviation from the SM predictions in the observations is used to place constraints on different scenarios considering anomalous couplings which could affect the rate and kinematics of hh production. In the case of resonant production of a new particle $\mathrm{X}$, for mass hypotheses from ${\mathrm{m}}_{\mathrm{X}} = $ 300 GeV to ${\mathrm{m}}_{\mathrm{X}} = $ 900 GeV, the data are observed (expected) to exclude a production cross-section times branching ratio of narrow-width spin-0 particles from 434 to 17 (342$^{+135}_{-97}$ to 14$^{+6}_{-4}$) fb and narrow-width spin-2 particles from 448 to 14 (361$^{+140}_{-102}$ to 13$^{+5}_{-4}$) fb. | ||

Summary |
We have presented a search for resonant and non-resonant Higgs pair production, where one of the h decays as $\mathrm{h} \to \mathrm{ b \bar{b} }$, and the other as $\mathrm{h} \to \mathrm{ V }\mathrm{ V } \to \ell\nu \ell\nu$ using LHC proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb$^{-1}$. Masses are considered in the range between $m_{\mathrm{X}} = $ 260 GeV and 900 GeV for the resonant search, and anomalous couplings $\kappa_{\lambda}$, $\kappa_{\mathrm{ t }}$ are considered in addition to the standard model case for the non-resonant search. The results obtained by the analysis are in agreement with the predictions from the standard model within uncertainties. For mass hypotheses from $m_{\mathrm{X}} = $ 300 GeV to $m_{\mathrm{X}} = $ 900 GeV, the data are observed (expected) to exclude a production cross-section times branching ratio of narrow-width spin-0 particles from 434 to 17 (342$^{+135}_{-97}$ to 14$^{+6}_{-4}$) fb and narrow-width spin-2 particles from 448 to 14 (361$^{+140}_{-102}$ to 13$^{+5}_{-4}$) fb for the resonant search. For the SM hh hypothesis, the data are observed (expected) to exclude a production cross section times branching ratio of 72 (81$^{+42}_{-25}$) fb, corresponding to 79 (89$^{+47}_{-28}$) times the SM cross section. |
