Can we discover double Higgs production at the LHC?
We explore double Higgs production via gluon fusion in the $b\bar{b} \gamma \gamma $ channel at the high-luminosity LHC using machine learning tools. We first propose a Bayesian optimization approach to select cuts on kinematic variables, obtaining a $30-50$ \% increase in the significance compared to current results in the …
