The analysis targets Lorentz-boosted H pairs identified using a graph neural network. It constrains the strengths relative to the standard model of the H self-coupling and the quartic VVHH couplings, & kappa;2V, excluding & kappa;2V 1/4 0 for the first time, with a significance of 6.3 standard deviations when other H couplings are fixed to their standard model values.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess[Keyword Not Available]Article1314375668642-s2.0-85167760550Q1WOS:00106210870000210.1103/PhysRevLett.131.041803
