Description

Searches for multi-scalar boson production processes will provide powerful constraints on the Standard Model (SM) and on well-motivated extensions thereof. Within the SM, Higgs boson pair and triple production offer a unique opportunity to probe the shape of the scalar potential through direct measurements of the Higgs boson self-couplings. Beyond the SM, multi-Higgs boson processes and associated production with additional scalars provide crucial sensitivity to extended scalar sectors, which may be central in understanding the nature of dark matter, or verifying the mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis. In this talk, I will give an overview of the state of the art in the phenomenology of these processes, with emphasis on recent theoretical developments, and the measurement prospects at the HL-LHC and proposed future colliders.
