Description

We explore signals of two Higgs bosons and missing energy at the LHC. Such a signal is characteristic of models for dark matter or other secluded particles that couple to the standard model through scalar mediators. I discuss our search strategy for these new particles, based on their decay topology into a final state with two b-jet pairs and missing transverse energy. The di-Higgs channel is competitive with other missing energy searches and provides a new opportunity to find hidden particles at the LHC.
