Abstract
Gluon fusion, ggāHH, is the dominant Higgs-pair production process at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with direct sensitivity to the trilinear Higgs self-interaction. The process is loop-induced, with the leading contribution arising from top-quark loops in the Standard Model, and QCD corrections are known to significantly enhance the cross section. With the anticipated accuracies achievable at the high-luminosity LHC , the theoretical uncertainties will be of increased relevance to compete with the experimental precision at the level of less than 30%. Therefore, as a first step in this direction, we compute next-to-leading-order electroweak contributions to ggāHH from two sources: top-Yukawaāinduced and light-quarkāinduced effects. I will present their impact on the total cross section and on the Higgs-pair invariant-mass spectrum, highlighting threshold features and the kinematic regions where electroweak effects reach the few-to-ten per cent level.
