$ttH$ Anomalous Coupling in Double Higgs Production


Abstract in English

We study the effects of top-Higgs anomalous coupling in the production of a pair of Higgs boson via gluon fusion at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The introduction of anomalous $ttH$ coupling can alter the hadronic double Higgs boson cross section and can lead to characteristic changes in certain kinematic distributions. We perform a global analysis based on available LHC data on the Higgs to constrain the parameters of $ttH$ anomalous coupling. Possible overlap of the predictions due to anomalous $ttH$ coupling with those due to anomalous trilinear Higgs coupling is also studied. We briefly discuss the effect of the anomalous $ttH$ coupling on the $HZ$ production via gluon fusion which is one of the main backgrounds in the $HH to gammagamma b {bar b}$ channel.
