An important physics goal of a possible next-generation high-energy hadron collider will be precision characterisation of the Higgs sector and electroweak symmetry breaking. A crucial part of understanding the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking is measuring the Higgs self-interactions. We study dihiggs production in proton-proton collisions at 100 TeV centre of mass energy in order to estimate the sensitivity such a machine would have to variations in the trilinear Higgs coupling around the Standard Model expectation. We focus on the two b-jets plus diphotons final state, including possible enhancements in sensitivity by exploiting dihiggs recoils against a hard jet. We find that it should be possible to measure the trilinear self-coupling with 40% accuracy given 3/ab and 12% with 30/ab of data.

Higgs pair production provides a unique handle for measuring the strength of the Higgs self interaction and constraining the shape of the Higgs potential. Among the proposed future facilities, a circular 100 TeV proton-proton collider would provide the most precise measurement of this crucial quantity. In this work, we perform a detailed analysis of the most promising decay channels and derive the expected sensitivity of their combination, assuming an integrated luminosity of 30 ab$^{-1}$. Depending on the assumed systematic uncertainties, we observe that the Higgs self-coupling will be measured with a precision in the range 3.4 - 7.8% at 68% confidence level.

This report summarises the physics opportunities for the study of Higgs bosons and the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking at the 100 TeV pp collider.
A lepton collider in the multi-TeV range has the potential to measure the trilinear Higgs self-coupling constant $lambda_{hhh}$ via the W-fusion mode $ell^+ell^- rightarrow u_ell bar{ u}_ell h h$. In this paper we do a generator-level study to explore how center-of-mass energy spread, cone size, tracking resolution, and collision energy range affect how precisely a muon collider can measure $lambda_{hhh}$ in comparison to an $e^+e^-$ collider. The smaller spread in center-of-mass energy and higher energy range of a muon collider improve cross section while the larger cone required to reduce beam-induced background hinders detection of double-Higgs events. Our results motivate a more detailed study of a multi-TeV muon collider and innovative detector and analysis technologies required for background rejection and precision measurement.
This report summarises the properties of Standard Model processes at the 100 TeV pp collider. We document the production rates and typical distributions for a number of benchmark Standard Model processes, and discuss new dynamical phenomena arising at the highest energies available at this collider. We discuss the intrinsic physics interest in the measurement of these Standard Model processes, as well as their role as backgrounds for New Physics searches.
A 100 TeV proton-proton collider will be an extremely effective way to probe the electroweak sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). In this paper, we describe a search strategy for discovering pair-produced Higgsino-like next-to-lightest supersymmetric particles (NLSPs) at a 100 TeV hadron collider that decay to Bino-like lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) via intermediate Z and SM Higgs boson that in turn decay to a pair of leptons and a pair of b-quarks respectively: $widetilde{N}_2^0widetilde{N}_3^0 rightarrow (Zwidetilde{N}_1^0)(hwidetilde{N}_1^0)rightarrow bbellell+widetilde{N}_1^0widetilde{N}_1^0$. In addition, we examine the potential for machine learning techniques to boost the power of our searches. Using this analysis, Higgsinos up to 1.4 TeV can be discovered at $5sigma$ level for a Bino with mass of about 0.9 TeV using 3000 fb$^{-1}$ of data. Additionally, Higgsinos up to 1.8 TeV can be excluded at 95% C.L. for Binos with mass of about 1.4 TeV. This search channel extends the multi-lepton search limits, especially in the region where the mass difference between the Higgsino NLSPs and the Bino LSP is small.
