@article{10902/28772, year = {2013}, month = {5}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/28772}, abstract = {A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair is presented using data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb?1 (5.1 fb?1 ) collected in pp collisions at the center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV (8 TeV). Events are considered where the top-quark pair decays to either one lepton+jets (tt ? `?qq 0bb) or dileptons (tt ? ` +?`??bb), ` being an electron or a muon. The search is optimized for the decay mode H ? bb. The largest background to the ttH signal is top-quark pair production with additional jets. Artificial neural networks are used to discriminate between signal and background events. Combining the results from the 7 TeV and 8 TeV samples, the observed (expected) limit on the cross section for Higgs boson production in association with top-quark pairs for a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV is 5.8 (5.2) times the standard model expectation.}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, publisher = {Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013, 5,145}, title = {Search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair in pp collisions at the LHC}, author = {Chatrchyan, Serguei and Brochero Cifuentes, Javier Andrés and Cabrillo Bartolomé, José Iban and Calderón Tazón, Alicia and Chuang, S.
