Abstract:
A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark pair is presented. Data collected by the CMS experiment in pp collisions at a center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb$^{-1}$ are used. The analysis targets the $\mathrm{WW}^{*}$, $\mathrm{ZZ}^{*}$ and $\tau\tau$ decay channels of the Higgs boson by selecting final states with two same-sign leptons or more than three leptons, produced in association with b jets. The signal strength is measured to be 0.6$^{+1.4}_{-1.1}$ times the standard model expectation. The observed 95% confidence level upper limit on the $ \mathrm{t} \overline{\mathrm{t}} \mathrm{H} $ production cross section is 3.3 times the standard model expectation, compared to the 2.6 expected in absence of a signal. The combination of ttH results with CMS data at 13 TeV is summarized at this url. | ||

Figure 1-a:
Feynman diagrams for $ { {\mathrm{ t \bar{t} } } \mathrm{ H } } $ production at pp colliders, with the Higgs boson decaying to $\mathrm {WW}^{*}$, $\mathrm {ZZ}^{*}$, and $\tau \tau $ (from a to c). They represent examples of final states with four leptons, three leptons, and two same-sign leptons, respectively. |

Table 1:
Expected and observed yields after the selection in 2lss and three-lepton final states. The rare SM backgrounds include ${\mathrm{Z} } {\mathrm{Z} } $, $\mathrm{W} ^\pm \mathrm{W} ^\pm \mathrm {qq}$, $\mathrm{W} \mathrm{W} $ produced in double-parton interactions, and triboson production. Uncertainties are statistical only. The backgrounds from non-prompt leptons and charge flips are extracted from data. |
