Combination of searches for resonant Higgs boson pair production using pp collisions at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
A combination of searches for resonant Higgs boson pair production is presented, using up to 139 fb−1 of pp collision data at √s=13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The combination includes searches performed in three decay channels: bbbb, bbτ+τ− and bbγγ. No excess above the expected background is observed and upper limits are set at the 95% confidence level on the production cross section of Higgs boson pairs originating from the decay of a narrow scalar resonance with mass in the range 251 GeV-5 TeV. The observed (expected) limits are in the range 0.96-600 fb (1.2-390 fb). The limits are interpreted in the Type-I Two-Higgs-Doublet Model and the Minimimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and constrain parameter space not previously excluded by other searches.
