Measuring Higgs Boson Pair Production in the 4b Final State at the ATLAS Experiment

ORAL

Abstract

Measuring the production of pairs of Higgs bosons, or di-Higgs production, offers physicists insight into how the Higgs boson interacts with itself. These self-interactions determine the shape of the Higgs potential. Variations of this potential beyond the Standard Model could explain big mysteries, such as the imbalance between matter and anti-matter in our universe. We'll present recent results from the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC measuring Higgs boson pairs in an especially challenging final state where each Higgs boson decays to two b-quarks.
