Description
The discovery of a Higgs boson at the LHC in 2012 offers a new opportunity for research in particle physics. While the data collected at 7 and 8 TeV shows a good agreement with the Standard Model Higgs properties, a more precise analysis is needed in order to determine whether this is the boson predicted by the theory.
That requires precision in both experimental measurements and theoretical predictions for a number of observables. Among them, multiple Higgs production becomes one of the most relevant in order to reconstruct the details of the potential responsible for the ElectroWeak symmetry breaking.
In this colloquium I will attempt to briefly summarise the state of the art in Higgs production at the LHC and describe our recent work on precise predictions for Higgs pair production.
