Higgs boson pairs produced non-resonantly or in the decay of a narrow scalar resonance in the mass range from 251 to 1600 GeV are targeted. Events in which at least one tau-lepton decays hadronically are considered, and multivariate discriminants are used to reject the backgrounds. No significant excess of events above the expected background is observed in the non-resonant search. The largest excess in the resonant search is observed at a resonance mass of 1 TeV, with a local (global) significance of 3.1 sigma (2.0 sigma). Observed (expected) 95{\%} confidence-level upper limits are set on the non-resonant Higgs boson pair-production cross-section at 4.7 (3.9) times the Standard Model prediction, assuming Standard Model kinematics, and on the resonant Higgs boson pair-production cross-section at between 21 and 900 fb (12 and 840 fb), depending on the mass of the narrow scalar resonance.", optnote="WOS:001062395700001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5696), last updated on Wed, 18 Oct 2023 06:40:11 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP07(2023)040", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.10910", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP07(2023)040", language="English" }
