Description

Experimental information on the trilinear Higgs boson self-coupling κ3 and the quartic self-coupling κ4 will be crucial for gaining insight into the shape of the Higgs potential and the nature of the electroweak phase transition. While Higgs pair production processes provide access to κ3, triple Higgs production processes, despite their small cross sections, will provide valuable complementary information on κ3 and first experimental constraints on κ4. We investigate triple Higgs boson production at the HL-LHC, employing efficient Graph Neural Network methodologies to maximise the statistical yield. We show that it will be possible to establish bounds on the variation of both couplings from the HL-LHC analyses that significantly go beyond the constraints from perturbative unitarity. We also discuss the prospects for the analysis of triple Higgs production at future high-energy lepton colliders operating at the TeV scale.
