The reconstruction of the Higgs potential in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) requires the measurement of the trilinear Higgs self-couplings. The `double Higgs production' subgroup has been investigating the possibility of detecting signatures of processes carrying a dependence on these vertices at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and future Linear Colliders (LCs). As reference reactions, we have chosen gg→ hh and e+e-→ h h Z, respectively, where h is the lightest of the MSSM Higgs bosons. In both cases, the Hhh interaction is involved. For mH>2mh, the two reactions are resonant in the H→ hh mode, providing cross sections which are detectable at both accelerators and strongly sensitive to the strength of the trilinear coupling involved. We explore this mass regime of the MSSM in the h→ b b decay channel, also accounting for irreducible background effects.
