A search is presented for standard model (SM) production of four top quarks (t¯tt¯t) in pp collisions in the lepton + jets channel. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb−1 recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The expected cross section for SM t¯tt¯t production is SM t¯tt¯t 1 fb. A combination of kinematic reconstruction and multivariate techniques is used to distinguish between the small signal and large background. The data are consistent with expectations of the SM, and an upper limit of 32 fb is set at a …

Measurements Of The Tt- Charge Asymmetry Using The Dilepton Decay Channel In Pp Collisions At Square Root S = 7 Tev, The Cms Collaboration, S. Chatrchyan, V. Khachatryan, Marc M. Baarmand, B. Dorney, Marcus Hohlmann, Himali Kalakhety, Francisco Yumiceva Jan 2014

The t¯t charge asymmetry in proton-proton collisions at p s = 7TeV is measured using the dilepton decay channel (ee, eμ, or μμ). The data correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb−1, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The t¯t and lepton charge asymmetries, defined as the differences in absolute values of the rapidities between the reconstructed top quarks and antiquarks and of the pseudorapidities between the positive and negative leptons, respectively, are measured to be AC = −0.010 ± 0.017 (stat.) ± 0.008 (syst.) and Alep C = 0.009 ± 0.010 (stat.) ± 0.006 (syst.). …
