Abstract
We develop the technique for calculating interference effects in the effective-W boson method. We find that these effects produce a very large azimuthal asymmetry for single Higgs boson production, which could be used as identification of the process. We also find that the cross section of Higgs boson pair production strongly depends on Higgs self-interaction, and for non-standard models of Higgs bosons could be 5 or 10 times larger than in the case of the standard one.
