The latest results from searches for a Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark pair ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}H}$) and single top quark (tHq) decaying to final states with multiple leptons are presented using datasets from the CMS and ATLAS experiments.
The latest results from the search for a Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark pair ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}H}$) at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ 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 $\tau\tau$, and the top quark pair decays considered are either fully leptonic, or semi-leptonic. The leptons defining the final states are muons and/or electrons. The overall analysis strategy, as well as new techniques with respect to the 2015 results are outlined.
We present a study of single top and single antitop quark production in the t-channel mode at the LHC pp collider at 7 TeV, 10 TeV and 14 TeV, including next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production and decay of the top quark. We discuss the effects of different O(alpha_s) contributions on the inclusive cross section and important kinematic distributions, after imposing the relevant cuts to select t-channel single top quark events.
