In this poster, the latest results of searches for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark-antiquark pair ($t\bar{t}H$), where Higgs decays into photons, bottom quark-antiquark pair or leptons via $WW^*$, $ZZ^*$ and $\tau\tau$ will be presented. The analyses have been performed using the $13\,\mathrm{TeV}$ pp collisions data recorded by the CMS experiment in...

The latest results from the search for a Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark pair (ttH) at 13 TeV decaying to final states with multiple leptons is presented using the 2016 dataset from the CMS experiment. The Higgs decays into either WW, ZZ, or tautau, and the top quark pair decays considered are either fully leptonic, or semi-leptonic. The leptons defining...

The generation of single top production in the Wt channel at NLO
Go to contribution page
gives rise to doubleresonant diagrams that overlap with tt, and
similarly for associated production with a Z or Higgs boson. Several
methods exist to remove this overlap, thus avoiding double counting
and separating between the two processes.
In Diagram Removal I, the amplitudes of doubleresonant diagrams are
set to zero,... -

The charge asymmetry in the top quark pair production in pp collisions at the energy of 13TeV is estimated using POWHEG events. The .asymmetries are measured using the rapidity and pseudorapidity of the produced top and antitop, or leptons from top decay. We calculate the inclusive asymmetries and their dependence on the invariant mass of the top-antitop pair, transverse momentum of...

A search for the production of a Higgs boson in association with a single top quark is performed using the decay H to bb. The rate of this Higgs production mode is particularly sensitive to a potential CP-violating pseudoscalar component of the Higgs boson couplings to the top quark. The first 2015 pp collisions data at a center of mass energy of 13 TeV are analyzed. This poster gives an...

4. Measurement of the differential cross section for t-channel single-top-quark production at 13 TeVMatthias Komm (Universite Catholique de Louvain (UCL) (BE))Poster Session
The production of single top quarks is a cornerstone in understanding the nature of the heaviest known elementary particle and its involvement in electroweak interactions. An early differential cross section measurement of t-channel single-top-quark production is presented.

In this poster we present measurements of normalized differential top quark pair (ttbar) production cross sections using final states with two leptons (ee, mumu, and emu) in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV at the CERN LHC.

The electroweak production of single-top quarks in the t-channel can be changed by any deviation from the Standard Model, it is therefore an excellent opportunity to search for new physics. In this poster the recent cross-section measurement of the CMS collaboration is presented with the full 2015 dataset of the LHC Run II at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The cross section and the...

We present a measurement of the total decay width of the top quark using events with top-antitop quark pair candidates reconstructed in the final state with two charged leptons using the LHC Run II data set of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS detector.

exclusively to a W boson and b quark. Thus, studying the Wtb vertex

The measurement of the W boson helicity fractions in top pair events when both or one of top quarks decay(s) leptonically is presented. These analyses are performed in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.8fb-1. The measurements are found to be in agreement with predictions of the standard model.

We study the sensitivity of top pair production and six-fermion decay at the LHC to the presence and nature of an underlying Z' boson, accounting for full tree-level Standard Model interference, with all intermediate particles allowed off-shell.

The associated production of a single top quark together with a Higgs boson at the LHC can be used to lift the degeneracy regarding the sign of the top quark Yukawa coupling.

Exclusion limits are measured at 51 points...
