Search for the associated production of the Higgs boson with a top-quark pair
A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair (H) is presented, using data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 5.1 fb and 19.7 fb collected in pp collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV respectively. The search is based on the following signatures of the Higgs boson decay: H hadrons, H photons, and H leptons. The results are characterized by an observed H signal strength relative to the standard model cross section, =, under the assumption that the Higgs boson decays as expected in the standard model. The best fit value is =2.8 1.0 for a Higgs boson mass of 125.6 GeV.
