Description
Double-Higgs (HH) production is one of the most sought-after measurements at the LHC, as it is a direct probe of the Higgs self-coupling coming from the Higgs potential which will shed light on the Higgs sector. I will present the search for HH production in the bottom-quark and tau-lepton pairs decay channel. I focus on the ongoing analysis of the LHC Run-2 dataset, discussing the strategy to distinguish this complex final state from the Standard Model background processes. I also present up-to-date public results on the self-coupling measurement and discuss their relation to an extended Higgs sector and electroweak baryogenesis.
