Exposing new scalars hiding behind the Higgs boson

Abstract

It is possible that there is another scalar hiding behind the known 125 GeV Higgs boson. If the hidden scalar exhibits a CP property different from the Higgs boson, it can be exposed in the di-Higgs production at the high-luminosity large hadron collider and future colliders.
