Аннотация:The Higgs boson (H) trilinear self-coupling, 𝜆_3, is constrained via its measured properties and limits on the HH pair production using the proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at √𝑠 = 13 TeV. The combination of event categories enriched in single-H and HH events is used to measure 𝜅_𝜆, defined as the value of 𝜆_3 normalized to its standard model prediction, while simultaneously constraining the Higgs boson couplings to fermions and vector bosons. Values of 𝜅_𝜆 outside the interval −1.2 < 𝜅_𝜆 < 7.5 are excluded at 2𝜎 confidence level, which is compatible with the expected range of −2.0 < 𝜅_𝜆 < 7.7 under the assumption that all other Higgs boson couplings are equal to their standard model predicted values. Relaxing the assumption on the Higgs couplings to fermions and vector bosons the observed (expected) 𝜅_𝜆 interval is constrained to be within −1.4 < 𝜅_𝜆 < 7.8 (−2.3 < 𝜅_𝜆 < 7.8) at 2𝜎 confidence level.
