Abstract

We explore the discovery potential of Higgs pair production at a 100 TeV collider via full leptonic mode. The same mode can be explored at the LHC when Higgs pair production is enhanced by new physics. We examine two types of fully leptonic final states and propose a partial reconstruction method. The reconstruction method can reconstruct some kinematic observables. It is found that the $m_{T2}$ variable determined by this reconstruction method and the reconstructed visible Higgs mass are important and crucial to discriminate the signal and background events. It is also noticed that a new variable, denoted as $\Delta m$ which is defined as the mass difference of two possible combinations, is very useful as a discriminant. We also investigate the interplay between the direct measurements of $t\bar{t} h$ couplings and other related couplings and trilinear Higgs coupling at hadron colliders and electron-positron colliders.
