Triple Higgs Boson Production at the Large Hadron Collider with Two Real Singlet Scalars

Abstract

We investigate the production of three Higgs bosons in the Two Real Singlet extension of the Standard Model, where the scalar sector is augmented by two additional real scalar fields which are singlets under the Standard Model gauge group. The model contains three neutral CP-even scalars, allowing for resonant production and asymmetric decay chains. We focus on the signature $pp\to h_3\to h_1{h}_2\to h_1{h}_1{h}_1$, where we identify $h_3$ as the heaviest scalar state, $h_2$ as the second heaviest and the lightest, $h_1$, as the Standard Model-like Higgs boson discovered by the Large Hadron Collider experiments. The dominant final state occurs when all three Higgs bosons decay to bottom-anti-bottom quark pairs, $h_1\to b\bar{b}$, leading to 6 $b$-jets. Taking into account all current theoretical and experimental constraints, we determine the discovery prospects for this channel in future runs of the Large Hadron Collider, as well as in the high-luminosity phase.
