Signal to background discrimination for the production of double Higgs boson events via vector boson fusion mechanism in the decay channel with four charged leptons and two b-jets in the final state at the LHC experiment

At the CERN Large Hadron Collider experiment, the non-resonant double Higgs production via vector-boson fusion represents a unique mean to probe the VVHH (V=Z, W$^{\pm}$) Higgs self-coupling at the current center of mass energies. Such a rare signal cannot be separated efficiently from huge backgrounds by applying a few-observables cut-based selection. Indeed, in this work, a Deep Learning algorithm is used to decide whether an event is more signal- or background-like. In particular, we report on two main aspects: results of a hyper-parameters parallel scanning strategy to distribute the training process across multiple nodes on the ReCaS-Bari data center computing resources and the discriminating performance of a Deep Neural Network architecture.
