Search for pair production of Higgs bosons in the bb¯ bb¯ final state using proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search for Higgs boson pair production in the bb¯ bb¯ final state is carried out with up to 36.1 fb −1 of LHC proton-proton collision data collected at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016. Three benchmark signals are studied: a spin-2 graviton decaying into a Higgs boson pair, a scal...
