Search for Higgs boson pair production in the [Formula omitted] channel using [Formula omitted] collision data recorded at [Formula omitted][Formula omitted] TeV with the ATLAS detector

Searches for non-resonant and resonant Higgs boson pair production are performed in the [Formula omitted] channel with the final state of [Formula omitted] using 36.1 [Formula omitted] of proton-proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of [Formula omitted]13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant deviation from the Standard Model prediction is observed. A 95% confidence-level observed upper limit of 7.7 pb is set on the cross section for non-resonant production, while the expected limit is 5.4 pb. A search for a narrow-width resonance X decaying to a pair of Standard Model Higgs bosons HH is performed with the same set of data, and the observed upper limits on [Formula omitted] range between 40.0 and 6.1 pb for masses of the resonance between 260 and 500 GeV, while the expected limits range between 17.6 and 4.4 pb. When deriving the limits above, the Standard Model branching ratios of the [Formula omitted] and [Formula omitted] are assumed.
