- The Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and mass generation predicts that the Higgs boson couples to itself, which can be verified experimentally by observing Higgs boson pair production. Four of the six channels studied in this state-of-the-art search benefited from the enhanced b-tagging made possible by the Insertable B-Layer upgrade, which Allport led as ATLAS upgrade coordinator. He also supervised the PhD thesis “Prospect studies for Higgs boson pair production to b bbar gamma gamma final states at the HL-LHC with the ATLAS detector", which was the basis of one of the studies.
