Phenomenology of the trilinear Higgs coupling at proton-proton colliders

We investigate Higgs pair production at proton-proton colliders, with emphasis on the gluon fusion channel at the HL-LHC. We study the behaviour of the leading order matrix element using exact computation of quark loops and infinite quark mass approximation. We analyse di-Higgs kinematics in search for phase space regions where the contribution of Higgs self-coupling to SM Higgs pair production is enhanced. We discuss how non-SM values of the Higgs trilinear coupling may affect the kinematics of the Higgs pair.

The Cambridge Jet algorithm: features and applications

Jet clustering algorithms are widely used to analyse hadronic events in high energy collisions. Recently a new clustering method, known as `Cambridge', has been introduced. In this article we present an algorithm to determine the transition values of y_cut for this clustering scheme, which allows to resolve any event to a definite number of jets in the final state. We discuss some particularities of the Cambridge clustering method and compare its performance to the Durham clustering scheme for Monte Carlo generated e+e- annihilation events.
