Description
We discuss the resonant production of Higgs pairs and its interference with the non-resonant di-Higgs production in the NMSSM. We deconstruct the differential cross section to different contributions arising from Standard Model box and triangle diagrams, resonant diagrams arising from heavy Higgs bosons, squark diagrams and the interferences between them. Interference lead to substantial modifications of the invariant mass spectrum, but also in the context of the NMSSM, the interference pattern gives information on how the Higgs boson gets its mass.
