Description
We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying into b quarks and produced in association with a pair of top quarks in the leptonic final states. This search has been performed on the full 13-TeV dataset of proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016. To separate the tt̄H signal from the irreducible tt̄ + bb̄ background, this analysis takes advantage of several different innovative methods that are a Deep Neural Network (DNN), a Matrix Element Method (MEM), and a Boosted Decision Tree (BDT).
