>   - Summary:
>
>   The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 was a major step towards
>   improving the understanding of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry
>   breaking (EWSB). With the value of the mass of the H boson now
>experimentally measured, the structure of the Higgs scalar field
>potential
>and the intensity of the Higgs boson self-couplings are precisely
>predicted
>in the SM. There are, however, compelling reasons to believe the SM is
>not
>complete. In particular, the LIP/CMS group is engaged in the study of
>SM
>and BSM processes to fully exploit the opportunities of the
>unparalleled
>   energy of the LHC collisions. While measured properties are so far
> consistent with the expectation from the SM predictions, measuring the
>  Higgs boson self-couplings provides an independent test of the SM and
>   allows a direct measurements of the scalar sector properties. The
>self-coupling of the Higgs boson can be extracted from the measurement
>of
>the Higgs boson pair production cross section. A large amount of data
>of
>approximately 150/fb have been collected in Run1+Run2 and are available
>to
>study this process. With the upcoming Run3, additional 300/fb of data
>may
>   become available in the next few years and there will be excellent
>   opportunities for major discoveries in this domain.

>
>The main goal of the research program is to analyze the data and search
>for the production of Higgs boson pairs via gluon-gluon and vector
>boson
>   fusion processes in final states with two bottom quarks and two tau
>leptons. The use of Advanced Analysis tools, such as Machine Learning
>and
> Deep Neural Network, will be pursued to enhance the sensitivity of the
>study. With the large data samples collected in Run2 and those expected
>to
>   be collected in Run3 and beyond, the tools will be used to better
>understand the data and extend the sensitivity to Higgs searches to
>regions
>so far unexplored. The research will be carried out in the context of
>the
>Portuguese participation in the CMS experiment at the LHC, in the
>framework
>of the activities of one of the outstanding research groups in
>High-Energy
>   Physics in Portugal. Citing the Report of the recent Institutional
>Evaluation performed by an international review panel nominated by FCT:
>   “The LIP-CMS group, while small in size, is really outstanding and
>world-class”. The candidate is expected to work in a team with a group
>of
>   researchers. A strong motivation and a keen curiosity are essential
>   requirements.
