Search for resonant Higgs boson pair production in the semi-leptonic bb ̅WW* decay channel with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider

Thesis

This thesis presents the search for resonant Higgs boson pair production with the bbWW* decay mode in the semi-leptonic final state containing one electron or muon with multiple jets and missing transverse momentum. The Standard Model of particle physics predicts only non-resonant pair production of Higgs bosons but a number of theoretical models predict massive new particles that decay to two Higgs bosons. The search is performed using ps = 13 TeV proton-proton collision dat...
