Enhanced di-Higgs production from TeV-scale heavy neutral leptons at future lepton colliders

TL;DR

This paper explores how TeV-scale heavy neutral leptons in low-scale inverse seesaw models can significantly boost di-Higgs production at future lepton colliders, offering a new probe for beyond Standard Model physics.

Contribution

It demonstrates the potential enhancement of di-Higgs production cross-section due to heavy neutral leptons in inverse seesaw models at future colliders.

Findings

Heavy neutral leptons can increase di-Higgs production cross-section by up to 60 times.

Future collider measurements could constrain low-scale seesaw models.

Electroweak precision bounds complement di-Higgs production constraints.

Abstract

Within the context of heavy neutral lepton extensions of the Standard Model, we consider the rare di-Higgs production mode $\ell^+\ell^-\to hh$ at future high-energy lepton colliders. As a concrete example, we study the impact of a low-scale Inverse Seesaw realisation on the prospects for di-Higgs production. Our results show that the presence of TeV-scale heavy neutral leptons can enhance the cross-section by up to factor 60. We further comment on the interplay with electroweak precision observables, showing that bounds on the di-Higgs production cross-section at future high-energy lepton colliders could serve as complementary probes of low-scale seesaw scenarios.
