| Abstract: In this note we present the results of a search for Higgs boson pair (HH) production with one Higgs boson decaying to two bottom quarks and the other to two W bosons. The search is based on proton-proton collision data recorded at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV center-of-mass energy, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The final states considered include at least one leptonically decaying W boson. No evidence for the presence of a signal is observed and corresponding upper limits on the HH production cross section are set. The limit on the inclusive cross section of the nonresonant HH production, assuming standard model kinematics, is observed (expected) to be 14 (18) times the value predicted by the standard model, at 95% confidence level. The limits on the cross section are also shown as a function of various Higgs boson coupling modifiers, and in a variety of anomalous Higgs boson couplings. Limits are also set on the resonant HH production for resonances with spin 0 and spin 2 within the mass range 250-900 GeV. | ||
