Description

While one of the parameters of the Higgs potential, the Higgs boson mass, is known quite well meanwhile, the Higgs boson self-couplings are still largely unconstrained.
We show how anomalous trilinear Higgs couplings, as well as other anomalous couplings in the Higgs sector, impact the shapes of distributions in Higgs boson pair production. In particular we investigate the interplay between higher order corrections within the Standard Model and BSM effects parametrized by Effective Field Theory.
