Description
Following the discovery of the Higgs boson, one of the next major achievement at LHC is to observe the production of Higgs pairs and to measure the Higgs tri-linear coupling $\lambda_{3H}$.
Due to the rarity of di-Higgs production, measuring $\lambda_{3H}$ has proven to be highly challenging.
The MEM is a statistically optimal multivariate method that maximizes the utilization of both the experimental and theoretical information available to an analysis. Most MEM studies have been limited to leading-order (LO) accuracy, with extensions to next-to-leading-order (NLO) explored only in specific cases due to the additional complexities introduced by virtual and real contributions.
To contribute to the measurement of $\lambda_{3H}$ from LHC data in the $gg \to HH \to b\bar{b}\gamma\gamma$ channel, we developed a MEM framework during my PhD by working on a new NLO implementation.
If time allows, I will also link my PhD work to the one I aim to develop during my Post-doc position at TDLI (3 ATLAS analysis, and phenomenology of the Higgs boson).
