HH → bb̄τ+τ−:relatively large BR, cleaner final state
- τlepτhad (BR: 45.8%)- τhadτhad (BR: 41.9%)
HH → bb̄γγ:small BR, clean signal extraction due toa good γγ mass resolution

Introduction Channels Combination SM HH H self-coupling Resonant Conclusion
Combination strategyo The combination is realized by constructing a combined likelihood functionthat takes into account data, models and systematic uncertainties
o The asymptotic approximation is used for statistical analysis of all∗channels, and the combination
o All the signal regions considered are orthogonal, or have negligible overlap.o Instrumental and luminosity uncertainties correlated across the channels.o The acceptance and the background modeling uncertainties are treated asuncorrelated.
o Theoretical uncertainties on the total signal cross-section are not considered.
∗For the individual bbγγ result pseudo-experiments were used - agreementat a level of 10% (5% for the combination) for all results

Introduction Channels Combination SM HH H self-coupling Resonant Conclusion
Conclusiono A statistical combination of searches for non-resonant and resonantproduction of Higgs boson pairs for the most sensitive channels is presented.
o Using up to 36.1 fb−1 of pp collision data recorded with the ATLASdetector.
o The observed (expected) 95% CL exclusion upper limit on the SM Higgsboson pair production is set to 6.7 (10.4) times the SM prediction.
o The observed (expected) exclusion limit as a function of the Higgsself-coupling scale factor, κλ, allows to constrain values in the range:−5.0 < κλ < 12.1 (−5.8 < κλ < 12.0) at 95% CL.
o The exclusion limits are set on the production cross-section of heavy spin-0and spin-2 resonances decaying into a pair of Higgs bosons, in the massrange 260-1000 GeV.
o No significant data excess is found after the combination.
