MultiHiggs Production at the LHC: Trilinear Couplings and
New Physics
Matthew Dolan (Durham University)
I will discuss aspects of dihiggs production at the LHC, and discuss the some of the prospects for constraining the SM Higgs
trilinear coupling. I will present new analyses in the dihiggs and dihiggs+jet final states utilising boosted kinematics
which may increase the LHC sensitivity to this coupling. Finally, I will motivate the dihiggs final state as a
discriminatory observable for helping understand the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking in BSM theories.
