Dark and Bright Signatures of Di-Higgs Production
arXiv:1905.03271 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.100.036012
Abstract
If the Higgs boson decays to a pair of invisible particles, the number of di-Higgs events, where each Higgs decay into Standard Model (SM) particles, are reduced by a factor of two-third taking into account the current LHC bound on invisible decay width of the Higgs boson. We investigate the sensitivity of the upcoming high luminosity run of the LHC to di-Higgs production and subsequent decay to dark matter in the context of the singlet scalar extension of the SM augmented by a fermionic dark matter in the dark and bright channel . Once systematic uncertainties on background yields are considered, this dark and bright channel presents competitive limits than after a careful tuning of the kinematical cuts that raise the signal over background ratio. We further show that in a multivariate analysis, for an invisible branching fraction as low as %, we obtain stronger bounds for the Higgs trilinear coupling from the channel compared to the final state. Finally, we demonstrate that the three channels , and , complement each other in the search for di-Higgs production with non-SM trilinear couplings when an invisible decay mode is present.
