Probing triple-Higgs productions via decay channel at a 100 TeV hadron collider
The quartic self-coupling of the Standard Model Higgs boson can only be
measured by observing the triple-Higgs production process, but it is
challenging for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Run 2 or International Linear
Collider (ILC) at a few TeV because of its extremely small production rate. In
this paper, we present a detailed Monte Carlo simulation study of the
triple-Higgs production through gluon fusion at a 100 TeV hadron collider and
explore the feasibility of observing this production mode. We focus on the
decay channel , investigating
detector effects and optimizing the kinematic cuts to discriminate the signal
from the backgrounds. Our study shows that, in order to observe the Standard
Model triple-Higgs signal, the integrated luminosity of a 100 TeV hadron
collider should be greater than ab. We also explore the
dependence of the cross section upon the trilinear () and quartic
() self-couplings of the Higgs. We find that, through a search in
the triple-Higgs production, the parameters and can be
restricted to the ranges and , respectively. We also
examine how new physics can change the production rate of triple-Higgs events.
For example, in the singlet extension of the Standard Model, we find that the
triple-Higgs production rate can be increased by a factor of .Comment: 33 pages, 11 figures, added references, corrected typos, improved
