The production at colliders contains rich information on the nature of the Higgs boson. In this article, we systematically studied its physics at the high-luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), using exclusive channels with multiple ( ) -jets and one lepton ( ), multiple ( ) -jets and opposite-sign dilepton ( ), same-sign dilepton ( ), multiple leptons (multi- ), and ditau resonance ( ). The scenarios analyzed include: (1) the production in Standard Model; (2) the production mediated by anomalous cubic Higgs self-coupling and contact interaction; (3) heavy Higgs ( ) production with ; and (4) pair production of fermionic top partners ( ) with . To address the complication of event topologies and the mess of combinatorial backgrounds, a tool of boosted-decision-tree was applied in the analyses. The and analyses define the two most promising channels. For the nonresonant production, a combination of these exclusive analyses allows for its measurement in the SM with a statistical significance (with ), and may partially break the sensitivity degeneracy with respect to a varying cubic Higgs self-coupling, a difficulty usually thought to exist in gluon fusion di-Higgs analysis at HL-LHC. These sensitivities were also projected to future hadron colliders at 27 TeV and 100 TeV. For the resonant productions, the heavy Higgs boson in type II two-Higgs-doublet-model could be efficiently searched for between the mass thresholds and even beyond that, for relatively small (vacuum alignment), while the fermionic top partners in composite Higgs models could be probed up to and , for and 50%, respectively.
