Description
A search for Higgs boson pair (HH) production with one Higgs boson decaying to two bottom quarks and the other to two W bosons is presented. The search is based on proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at √s = 13 TeV center-of-mass energy, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. The final states include at least one leptonically decaying W boson. No evidence for the presence of a signal is observed and corresponding upper limits on the HH production cross section are set. The upper limit on the inclusive cross section of the non-resonant HH production, assuming standard model kinematics, is observed (expected) to be 14 (18) times the value predicted by the standard model, at 95% confidence level. The limits on the cross section are also shown as a function of various Higgs boson coupling modifiers. Limits are also set on the resonant HH production for resonances with spin 0 and spin 2 within the mass range 250–900 GeV.
