With the highest expected branching-ratio (56\%), the Higgs boson decay into a $b$-quark pair plays a crucial role in the determination of the Higgs Yukawa couplings, as well as its general properties. On the other end, the Higgs boson is expected to decay to $c$-quarks much more rarely, with a branching-ratio of 3\%, and the search of this decay requires the state of the art of jet...
Understanding the Higgs boson self-coupling is fundamental to uncovering the structure of the Higgs potential and testing the Standard Model (SM) at a deeper level. Among the various processes that probe this coupling, Higgs boson pair production via gluon fusion—a loop-induced mechanism—is among the primary ones. In particular, the electroweak (EW) sector plays a pivotal role in reducing...
