Introduction

Photon Linear Collider (PLC) is gamma-gamma collision option in ILC.

We study feasibility of measurement of Higgs self-coupling constant =SM(1+) by ->HH

This process occurs at low energy(than e+e-). contribution to cross section is different.

Luminosity spectrum

total luminosity of photon collision = 1.26×1035cm-2s-1

effective Xsec(Signal) = 0.013fb → 16event/yeareffective Xsec(BG) = 11,600fb → 1.467×107event/yearB<10-6 is required.

Summary We study feasibility of measurement of Higgs

self-coupling constant at PLC. ->WW background is 106 times larger than

->HH signal. Neural Net with b-tagging and kinematics can

reject almost all ->WW background. ->ZZ event generator developing in progress. Next plan is including Z decay mode and

Luminosity spectrum to ->ZZ event generator.

b-tagging cannot reject ->4b too.
