We study the double Higgs boson production processes $e^+e^- to hh fbar{f}$ ($f eq t$) with $h$ being the 125 GeV Higgs boson in the two-Higgs-doublet model with a softly-broken $Z_2$ symmetry. The cross section can be significantly enhanced, typically a few hundreds percent, as compared to the standard model prediction due to resonant effects of heavy neutral Higgs bosons, which becomes important in the case without the alignment limit. We find a strong correlation between the enhancement factor of the cross section and the scaling factor of the $hfbar{f}$ couplings under constraints from perturbative unitarity, vacuum stability and current experimental data at the LHC as well as the electroweak precision data.
We analyse the loop induced production of Higgs boson pairs at future high--energy $e^+e^-$ colliders, both in the Standard Model and in its minimal supersymmetric extension. The cross sections for Standard Model Higgs pair production through $W/Z$ boson loops, $ee ra H^0 H^0$, are rather small but the process could be visible for high enough luminosities, especially if longitudinal polarization is made available. In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the corresponding processes of CP--even or CP--odd Higgs boson pair production, $ee ra hh, HH, Hh$ and $ee ra AA$ have smaller cross sections, in general. The additional contributions from chargino/neutralino and slepton loops are at the level of a few percent in most of the supersymmetric parameter space.
Since the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider, a future electron-position collider has been proposed for precisely studying its properties. We investigate the production of the Higgs boson at such an $e^+e^-$ collider associated with a $Z$ boson, and calculate for the first time the mixed QCD-electroweak corrections to the total cross sections. We provide an approximate analytic formula for the cross section and show that it reproduces the exact numeric results rather well for collider energies up to 350 GeV. We also provide numeric results for $sqrt{s}=500$ GeV, where the approximate formula is no longer valid. We find that the $mathcal{O}(alphaalpha_s)$ corrections amount to a 1.3% increase of the cross section for a center-of-mass energy around 240 GeV. This is significantly larger than the expected experimental accuracy and has to be included for extracting the properties of the Higgs boson from the measurements of the cross sections in the future.
For the search for additional Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as well as for future precision analyses in the Higgs sector a precise knowledge of their production properties is mandatory. We review the evaluation of the cross sections for the neutral Higgs boson production in association with a photon at future $e^+e^-$ colliders in the MSSM with complex parameters (cMSSM). The evaluation is based on a full one-loop calculation of the production mechanism $e^+e^- to h_i gamma$ ($i = 1,2,3$). The dependence of the lightest Higgs-boson production cross sections on the relevant cMSSM parameters is analyzed numerically. We find relatively small numerical depedences of the production cross sections on the underlying parameters.
The physics prospect at future linear $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders for the study of the Higgs triple self-coupling via the process of $e^{+}e^{-}to ZHH$ is investigated. In this paper, we calculate the contribution of the new particles predicted by the littlest Higgs model to the cross sections of this process in the future high energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider($ILC$). The results show that, in the favorable parameter spaces preferred by the electroweak precision, the deviation of the total cross sections from its $SM$ value varies from a few percent to tens percent, which may be detected at the future $ILC$ experiments with $sqrt{s}$=500GeV.
We study the Higgs pair-production in the Standard Model of the strong and electroweak interactions at future $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider energies, with the reaction $e^{+}e^{-}to t bar t HH$. We evaluated the total cross section of $tbar tHH$ and calculate the number total of events considering the complete set of Feynman diagrams at tree-level. The numerical computation is done for the energy which is expected to be available at a possible Next Linear $e^{+}e^{-}$ Collider: with center-of-mass energy $800, 1600$ $GeV$ and luminosity 1000 $fb^{-1}$.
