EW Baryogenesis and Higgs Physics [A. Cohen et al’93, P. Huet and A. Nelson’96] � Baryon asymmetry may be generated during EW phase transition, if strongly first order - electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) � Strongly correlated with Higgs physics: � The related CP-phase must enter Higgs couplings 2 � A strongly first order EWPT generically requires a modified Higgs potential Saturday, February 14, 15
Strongly First Order EWPT � Need to generate a bump for the Higgs potential at high temperature. � Not achievable in the SM 3 � How to achieve it in BSM physics? Saturday, February 14, 15
Mechanism (1): Higher Dim Operators [C. Grojean, G. Servant and J. Wells, ’04] ξ = h H ( T c ) i V ( H ) = µ 2 H † H + κ ( H † H ) 2 + 1 T c Λ 2 ( H † H ) 3 � A negative kappa helps achieve EWPT of strongly first order � Leads to a tri-Higgs coupling at zero temperature 2 v 4 λ = 1 + h Λ 2 = 1 + O (1) m 2 λ SM 4 [A. Noble and M. Perelstein, ’07] Saturday, February 14, 15
Mechanism (2): BSM Scalar (No Mixing with Higgs) � Typically a discrete symmetry is ξ = h H ( T c ) i introduced T c � The well-known stop-assisted strongly 1st order EWPT falls into this category � If colored or electrically charged, may modify Higgs gauge couplings and be probed at HL-LHC or ILC/ CEPC [A. Katz, M. Perelstein, ’14] � Numerically, 20% or more shift in [A. Noble and M.

Di-Higgs Production in the SM [J. Baglio, A. Djouadi et. al., ’13] 8 Saturday, February 14, 15
General Comments [J. Baglio, A. Djouadi et. al., ’13] � Rare process! Mainly focus on pp -> hh production � Various decay modes have been studied 9 Saturday, February 14, 15
Current Focus: pp -> hh [R. Frederix et. al., ’14] � Good: simple topology; clean channel, e.g., hh -> bb+di-photon � Not good: negative correlation with lambda; with a positive shift in lambda � Lower signal rate � Weaker dependence on the tri-Higgs coupling 10 Saturday, February 14, 15
Complementary Method: pp -> tthh � ∆ λ � ∆ λ λ � λ / λ SM =1 = ⇣ ⌘ λ λ / λ SM − 1 λ λ SM exp 3 for pp -> tthh (same kinematics is assumed), with λ 0 < < 4 λ SM � Positive correlation with tri-Higgs coupling in the SM neighborhood � With a positive shift in lambda [TL, H. Zhang, 1410.1855] [C. Englert et. al.,1409.8074] � higher signal rate 11 � stronger dependence on the tri-Higgs coupling Saturday, February 14, 15
Illustration: pp -> tthh with hh -> bbbb pp > hh > bb + di-photon VS pp > tthh > ttbbbb Relatively low Xsection * high Br = 300 ab Relatively high Xsection * low Br = 35 ab [TL, H. Zhang, 1410.1855] � HL-LHC: > 2.0 sigma statistical significance is achievable in searching for the SM di-Higgs production; � Comparable to that of the pp -> hh -> bb + diphoton (cut-based): 1.3-2.3 sigma [Y. Yao, ’13; V. Barger et. al. ’13; ATL-PHYS-PUB-2014-019] 12 Saturday, February 14, 15
Tri-Higgs Coupling Measurement via pp -> tthh [TL, H. Zhang, 1410.1855] � Assuming that NP enters tri-Higgs coupling only, if any � Mechanism (1) and (2): HL-LHC shows a good sensitivity 13 � Mechanism (3): HL-LHC shows some sensitivity Saturday, February 14, 15
Outlook � Further improvements: e.g., consider pp -> tt hh -> ttWW bb: loses some signal rate, gains from same-sign leptons [suggested by A. Juste] t ¯ thh � A probe for new physics, e.g., ; Λ � Certainly needs to think how to disentangle various contributions to the di- Higgs production � What are the gains from 100 TeV pp collider. To what extent can we test EWPT of strongly first order (by combining with the other channels)? [R. Frederix et. al., ’14] 14 Saturday, February 14, 15
