Discovery potential of Higgs boson pair production through 4l+E final states at a 100 TeV collider

We explore the discovery potential of Higgs pair production at a 100 Te V collider via full leptonic mode.The same mode can be explored at the LHC when Higgs pair production is enhanced by new physics. We examine two types of fully leptonic final states and propose a partial reconstruction method, w...

Summary:We explore the discovery potential of Higgs pair production at a 100 Te V collider via full leptonic mode.The same mode can be explored at the LHC when Higgs pair production is enhanced by new physics. We examine two types of fully leptonic final states and propose a partial reconstruction method, which can reconstruct some useful kinematic observables. It is found that the m T2 variable determined by this reconstruction method and the reconstructed visible Higgs mass are crucial to discriminate the signal and background events. It is also noticed that a new variable, denoted as △m, which is defined as the mass difference of two possible combinations, is very useful as a discriminant. To examine the detector effects, we consider seven detector setups for a 100 Te V collider and investigate the changes in the sensitivity, and we find that lepton isolation and the minimal lepton P t cut are crucial in order to reduce the integrated luminosity.
