Description

An overview of the search for top quark associated Higgs boson production (ttH and tH) using full Run-2 proton-proton collision data (137 fb-1) collected by the CMS experiment at center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV will be presented. This will cover Higgs decays into final states involving pairs of photons as well as final states involving leptons (electrons, muons and taus). This search is important in providing a direct probe of the top-Higgs Yukawa coupling which might be influenced by beyond standard model physics. Comprehensive details about search strategies e.g. event categorization, background estimation and signal extraction will be provided. The overview will conclude with the latest CMS results on this search.
