Constraints on the Higgs self-coupling from searches for Higgs boson pairs in the bbτ+τ final state with the ATLAS detector and prospects at the High-Luminosity LHC — •Petar Bokan1,2, Stan Lai1, Arnaud Ferrari2, and Jason Veatch11University of Göttingen — 2Uppsala University

After the discovery of the Higgs boson, the ultimate test of the electroweak symmetry breaking is to establish Higgs self-coupling by searching for pairs of Higgs bosons.

A search for non-resonant Higgs boson pair production in the bbτ+τ channel is presented for 36.1 fb−1 of √s=13 TeV data recorded at the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The analysis considers the semi-leptonic and fully hadronic di-τ final states. The observed (expected) upper limit on the non-resonant Higgs boson pair production cross-section times branching ratio corresponds to 12.7 (14.8) times the predicted Standard Model cross-section. The ratio of the Higgs boson self-coupling to its Standard Model expectation, κλ, is observed (expected) to be constrained at 95% confidence level to −7.3<κλ<15.7 (−8.8<κλ<16.7).

Furthermore the sensitivity is extrapolated to a 14 TeV center-of-mass energy and 3000 fb−1, which is the target integrated luminosity of the High-Luminosity LHC. Various extrapolation assumptions are presented in this talk.
