-**Heavy Higgs Searches: BSM decay modes.**
+**Heavy Higgs Searches: H -> A A -> 4b, 2b 2tau**

+In extensions of the SM Higgs sector (and more generally) the dominant decay modes of heavy Higgses may not be
+the "traditional" ones (VV, tt, bb), but instead H -> X1 X1, H -> X1 X2 and/or H -> X1 SM (with X1, X2 being BSM states, e.g. new scalars/pseudoscalars). Depending on the dominant decay of X1, X2, these could constitute the discovery mode for both H and X1,X2.
+A concrete example is H -> A A -> 4 b, which can be viewed as a generalization of resonant di-Higgs searches in the 4 b final state leaving the mass of the A state free.
+Boost parametrization wrt the ratio of resonance masses (formula 5) https://arxiv.org/pdf/1303.6636.pdf
+This project constitutes a feasibility study of this channel in the mH, mA (+ Width_H) parameter space.
+As a starting point, we want to assess the extent to which we can build up on information included in the 4b di-Higgs analyses by CMS ([[https://cds.cern.ch/record/1748425?ln=en|4b CMS 8 TeV]], [[https://cds.cern.ch/record/2141024?ln=en|4b CMS 13 TeV]] ) and ATLAS.
+An additional final state which would be very interesting to look at in this context is 2b 2tau (for resonant di-Higgs searches, 2b 2tau becomes more sensitive for mH <~ 400 GeV).
