  "abstract": "Measuring the Higgs boson couplings as precisely as possible is one of the major goals of the High Luminosity LHC. We show that the $(b\\bar{b})(b\\bar{b})$ final state in Higgs boson pair production can be exploited in the boosted regime to give constraints on the trilinear Higgs boson self-coupling. In these exclusive phase space regions, novel jet substructure techniques can be used to separate the signal from the large QCD and electroweak backgrounds. New developments on trigger and b-tagging strategies for the upcoming LHC runs are necessary in order to reconstruct the Higgs bosons in boosted final states, where the trilinear self-coupling sensitivity is reduced. We find that using our approach one can set a limit for $\\lambda \\leq 1.2$ at $95 \\%$ CL after $3000~\\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. As the signal-to-background ratio is small we propose a data-driven side-band analysis to improve on the coupling measurement.",
