Description
Measuring the top quark Yukawa coupling is an important test of the standard model (SM) of particle physics and the production of a Higgs boson in association with top quarks (ttH) is the only channel that allows a direct measurement of this SM parameter. This talk will focus on the measurement of ttH where the Higgs boson decays to bottom quarks. The data were collected by the CMS experiment in 2017 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Because of the small cross section and challenging final state, sophisticated methods for signal/background rejection as well as signal extraction are required.
