@misc{10481/67202, year = {2020}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/67202}, abstract = {A search for Higgs boson pair production via vector-boson fusion (VBF) in the bb¯¯bb¯¯ final state is carried out with the ATLAS experiment using 126 fb−1 of proton- proton collision data delivered at s√ = 13 TeV by the Large Hadron Collider. This search is sensitive to VBF production of additional heavy bosons that may decay into Higgs boson pairs, and in a non-resonant topology it can constrain the quartic coupling between the Higgs bosons and vector bosons. No significant excess relative to the Standard Model expectation is observed, and limits on the production cross-section are set at the 95% confidence level for a heavy scalar resonance in the context of an extended Higgs sector, and for non-resonant Higgs boson pair production. Interpretation in terms of the coupling between a Higgs boson pair and two vector bosons is also provided: coupling values normalised to the Standard Model expectation of κ2V < −0.76 and κ2V > 2.90 are excluded at the 95% confidence level in data.}, organization = {ANPCyT}, organization = {YerPhI, Armenia}, organization = {Australian Research Council}, organization = {BMWFW, Austria}, organization = {Austrian Science Fund (FWF)}, organization = {Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS)}, organization = {SSTC, Belarus}, organization = {National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq)}, organization = {Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP)}, organization = {Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)}, organization = {Canada Foundation for Innovation}, organization = {NRC, Canada}, organization = {CERN}, organization = {Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT)}, organization = {Chinese Academy of Sciences}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Technology, China}, organization = {National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)}, organization = {Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion Colciencias}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports - Czech Republic}, organization = {Czech Republic Government}, organization = {DNRF, Denmark}, organization = {Danish Natural Science Research Council}, organization = {Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)}, organization = {CEA-DRF/IRFU, France}, organization = {SRNSFG, Georgia}, organization = {Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF)}, organization = {HGF, Germany}, organization = {Max Planck Society}, organization = {Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT}, organization = {RGC, China}, organization = {Hong Kong SAR, China}, organization = {Israel Science Foundation}, organization = {Benoziyo Center, Israel}, organization = {Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN)}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT)}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT) Japan Society for the Promotion of Science}, organization = {CNRST, Morocco}, organization = {Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) Netherlands Government}, organization = {RCN, Norway}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Poland}, organization = {NCN, Poland}, organization = {Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology European Commission}, organization = {MNE/IFA, Romania}, organization = {MES of Russia, Russia Federation}, organization = {NRC KI, Russia Federation}, organization = {JINR}, organization = {MESTD, Serbia}, organization = {MSSR, Slovakia}, organization = {Slovenian Research Agency - Slovenia}, organization = {MIZS, Slovenia}, organization = {DST/NRF, South Africa}, organization = {MINECO, Spain}, organization = {SRC, Sweden}, organization = {Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden}, organization = {SERI, Switzerland}, organization = {Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)}, organization = {Canton of Bern, Switzerland}, organization = {Canton of Geneva, Switzerland}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan}, organization = {Ministry of Energy & Natural Resources - Turkey}, organization = {UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC)}, organization = {United States Department of Energy (DOE)}, organization = {National Science Foundation (NSF)}, organization = {BCKDF, Canada}, organization = {CANARIE, Canada}, organization = {Compute Canada, Canada}, organization = {CRC, Canada}, organization = {European Research Council (ERC)}, organization = {Horizon 2020, European Union}, organization = {Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, European Union}, organization = {COST, European Union}, organization = {French National Research Agency (ANR)}, organization = {German Research Foundation (DFG)}, organization = {Alexander von Humboldt Foundation}, organization = {Herakleitos programme - EU-ESF, Greece}, organization = {Thales programme - EU-ESF, Greece}, organization = {Aristeia programme - EU-ESF, Greece}, organization = {Greek NSRF, Greece}, organization = {BSF-NSF, Israel}, organization = {German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development}, organization = {CERCA Programme Generalitat de Catalunya, Spain}, organization = {PROMETEO Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain}, organization = {Goran Gustafssons Stiftelse, Sweden}, organization = {Royal Society of London}, organization = {Leverhulme Trust}, publisher = {SPRINGER}, keywords = {Hadron-Hadron scattering (experiments)}, keywords = {Higgs Physics}, title = {Search for the HH → bb¯¯bb¯¯ process via vector-boson fusion production using proton-proton collisions at s√ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector}, doi = {10.1007/JHEP07(2020)108}, author = {Atlas Collaboration and Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio}, }
