1. Introduction

With the observation of a new boson at a mass around 125 GeV/c2 _{[1–3] whoseproperties are consistent with those of}

thestandardmodel(SM)HiggsbosonH[4–9],theSMappearsto becomplete. Oneofthemostsensitivechannelsin thediscovery oftheHiggsboson,H→γ γ,isexpectedtohavetopquark loops both inthe productionanddecay ofthe Higgsboson in theSM. Hence,itisimportantto determinethecouplingsofthenew bo-son to fermions, especially to the top quark. In the SM, one of themostpromisingchannelsforadirectmeasurementofthetop quarkYukawacouplingistheproductionoftheHiggsbosonin as-sociationwithatt pair(ttH),wheretheHiggsbosondecaystobb, thusleadingtoattbb finalstate.

Theexpectedquantumchromodynamics(QCD)crosssectionfor ttH productioninppcollisions at√s=8 TeV, calculatedto next-to-leadingorder(NLO),is0.128₋+₀0._.005₀₁₂(scale)±0.010 pb(PDF+αS) [10], where the uncertainty labelled “scale” refers to the un-certainty from the factorization and renormalization scales (μF

andμR),andtheuncertaintylabelled“PDF+αS”comesfromthe

uncertainties in the parton distribution functions(PDFs) andthe strong coupling constant αS. This final state, which has not yet

been observed, has an irreducible nonresonant background from theproduction ofa top quark pairin associationwitha b quark pair. Calculations of the inclusive production cross section for tt events with additional jets have been performed to NLO

sion[11–16].Foraproton–protoncentre-of-massenergyof8 TeV, the predictions forthe production of a top quark pair with two additional jetsttjj and withtwo additional bquark jetsttbb are

σttjj=21.0±2.9(scale) pb and σttbb=0.23±0.05(scale) pb,

re-spectively[16].Inthiscalculation,theadditionaljetsarerequired to have transverse momenta pT>40 GeV/c and absolute

pseu-dorapidity |η|<2.5, while for the ttH production value quoted above, no such requirements are applied to the decay products of theHiggs boson.The dominant uncertainties inthese calcula-tionsarefromthefactorizationandrenormalizationscales[17,18] causedbythepresenceoftwoverydifferentscalesinthisprocess, the topquark massandthejet pT. Therefore,experimental

3. Simulationanddefinitionofsignalevents

MonteCarlo(MC)simulateddatasamplesforthett signalare generatedbythe MadGraph (v.5.1.3.30)eventgenerator[23]with matrixelements (ME)atleadingorder,allowinguptothree addi-tionalpartonsincludingbquarks.Thegeneratedeventsare inter-facedwith pythia (v.6.426)[24] toprovidetheshoweringofthe partons,andtoperformthematchingofthesoftradiationwiththe contributionsfromtheME.The τ leptondecaysarehandledwith tauola _{(v. 2.75) [25]. The powheg (v. 1.0) generator [26–28] at} NLO,interfacedwith pythia,isusedforcross-checksand system-aticstudies.AZ/γ∗+jets backgroundsampleissimulatedin Mad-Graph_{.ThettH processismodelledusing pythia.Theelectroweak} productionofsingle top quarks(pp→tW and pp→tW) is sim-ulated in powheg with an approximate next-to-next-to-leading-order(NNLO) crosssection calculation[29].The CTEQ6L1[30]set ofPDFsisusedforthe MadGraph and pythia samples,whilethe CTEQ6M [31] set is used for the powheg samples. The CMS de-tectorresponseissimulatedusing Geant4 (v. 9.4)[32].Thepileup distributionusedinthe simulationisweighted tomatchthe one observedindata.

Measurements are reported for two different regions of the phase space: a visible phase space and the full phase space. In the visible phase space, all ttbb final state particles (ttbb→ bW+bW−bb→b+νb−νbb)excepttheneutrinos,i.e.thecharged leptonsandjetsoriginatingfromthedecaysofthetop quarks,as well as the two additional b quark jets (“b jets”), are required

to be within the same experimentally accessible kinematic re-gion.Simulatedttbb eventsaredefinedto beinthevisiblephase spaceandarecategorizedascomingfromthettjj processifthey contain, at the generator level, at least four particle-level jets, includingatleasttwojetsoriginatingfrombquarks,andtwo lep-tons (ttjj→bW+bW−jj→b+νb−νjj). Each lepton must have pT>20 GeV/c,|η|<2.4,andcomefromthedecayofaW boson

fromone ofthe top quarks.Electronsor muonsoriginatingfrom theleptonic decaysof τ leptons producedinW→τ ν decaysare included. Jets which are within R=φ2_{+ η}2_{<0.5 of an}

identified electronor muonare removed, whereφ andηare thedifferencesinazimuthalangleandpseudorapiditybetweenthe directionsofthejetsandthelepton.Theparticle-leveljetsare ob-tainedbycombiningallfinal-stateparticles,excludingneutrinos,at thegeneratorlevelwithananti-kT clusteringalgorithm [33]with

a distance parameter of0.5 andare required to satisfy |η|<2.5 and pT>20 GeV/c, whichis lowerthan the reconstructed

mini-mumjet pT,asdescribedbelow.Thebandcquarkjets(“cjets”)

are identified by thepresence ofcorresponding hadrons contain-inga borcquarkamongtheancestorsofthejetconstituents.In thecasewheretwojetscontainthedecayproductsofthesameb hadron,thejetwiththehigherpT isselectedasthebjet.Whena

bhadronissuccessfullymatched,thecquarksarenotconsidered. Thettjj sampleiscomposedoffourcomponents,distinguished bytheflavourofthetwojetsinadditiontothetwobjetsrequired fromthetopquarkdecays.Thefourcomponentsarethettbb final state withtwo bjets, the ttbj finalstate withone bjet andone lighter-flavourjet,thettcc finalstatewithtwocjets, andthettLF final state withtwo light-flavour jets(froma gluon or u,d, ors quark)oronelight-flavourjetandonecjet.Thettbj finalstate is mainlyfromthemergingoftwo bjetsorthelossofoneoftheb jetscausedbytheacceptancerequirements.Efficiencycorrections to the measurementfor thevisible phase spaceare mainly from detectoreffects. The resultsfor thevisible phase spaceare com-paredwiththosefromMCsimulations.

The goal of the full phase space result is to provide a com-parisonto theoreticalcalculations, whicharegenerallyperformed atthe partonlevel. Toobtain a full phase spaceMC sample, the jetreconstruction isperformedonthepartons(gluons,aswellas quarks lighter than top) before hadronization, as well as τ lep-tonsthat decayhadronically.As thefull hadronization anddecay chainisknown,only τ leptonsthatdecayhadronicallyandpartons thatleadtohadronsareincluded.Thejetreconstructionalgorithm is the same asfor the visible phase space. Following the jet re-construction, b jets are identified with a R<0.5 requirement betweenthebquarksandparton-leveljets,whereφ andηare the azimuthal angle and pseudorapidity differences, respectively, betweenthedirectionsofthebquarkandtheparton-leveljet.For comparisonwiththeoreticalpredictions[16],resultsarequotedfor two different jet pT thresholds of pT>20 and >40 GeV/c on

the jets not arising from top quark decays. To clarify the phase space definition,the objects on which the selectionsare applied arelistedinTable 1.

Leptons are required to have Irel<0.15. The efficiencies forthe

The event selection requires the presence of two isolated opposite-signleptons of invariant mass M>12 GeV/c2.Lepton

pairs ofthe sameflavour (e+e−, μ+μ−) are rejectedif their in-variantmassiswithin15 GeV/c2oftheZ bosonmass.Themissing transverseenergy(Emiss

T >30 GeV. Forthe e±μ∓ channel, no EmissT requirement is

applied.

Fourormorereconstructedjetsarerequiredwith|η|<2.5 and pT>30 GeV/c, ofwhich at least two jetsmust be identified as

bjets,usingacombinedsecondaryvertex(CSV) algorithm,which combinessecondary vertexinformationwithlifetimeinformation ofsingletracks toproduceab-taggingdiscriminator [38].Atight b-taggingrequirementonthisdiscriminatorisapplied,whichhas anefficiencyofabout45%forbjetsandamisidentification proba-bilityof0.1%forlight-flavourjets.

Differences in the b-tagging efficiencies between data and simulation [38] are accounted for by reweighting the shape of the CSV b-tagging discriminator distribution in the simulation to match that in the data. Data/MC scale factors for this pT

-and η-dependent correction are derived separately forlight- and heavy-flavourjets.Thescalefactorforcjetsisnotmeasured, ow-ingtothelimitedamountofdata,andissettounity.Light-flavour scale factors are determined from a control sample enriched in events witha Z boson and exactly two jets. Heavy-flavour scale factors are derived from a tt enriched sample with exactly two jets,excludingZ→ events.

The backgroundcontributions arising from Z/γ∗+jets events is estimatedin data usingthe number ofevents having a dilep-toninvariant massof76<M<106 GeV/c2,scaledby theratio

lumi-nosityuncertainty [19]andlepton identification[42],whichonly affecttheabsolutecrosssectionmeasurements.Thesystematic un-certainty in the lepton identification is assessed using the scale factorobtainedfromZ boson candidates andalsotakinginto ac-countthedifferentphasespacebetweenZ bosonandtt events.

Thesystematicuncertaintiesassociatedwiththeb-tagging dis-criminatorscalefactorsforbjetsandlight-flavourjetsarestudied separately,varying their values within their uncertainties. The b-flavour scale factors are obtained using tt enriched events, and their dominant uncertaintycomes fromthe contamination when one ofthebjetsisnot reconstructed [43] (indicatedas“b quark flavour”inTable 3). Thecjet scalefactorisassumedto beunity with an uncertainty twice as large as the b-tagging scale fac-tor[38](indicatedas“cquarkflavour”inTable 3).Thelight-flavour jet scale factors are determined from Z boson enriched events. Theiruncertaintyarisesbecausethecontributionfromthe Z+bb process inthiscontrol sample isnot well modelled(indicated as “light flavour”inTable 3). Theb-taggingdiscriminator can be af-fectedbythejet energyscale (JES)variations. Thesystematic un-certainty in the jet energyscale [44] is obtained by varying the jet energy scale factor by one standard deviation foreach quark flavour. The uncertainty in the jet energy resolution (JER) is as-sessedbysmearingthesimulatedjetenergyresolutionby10%on average,takingintoaccountthe η dependence[44].

The uncertaintyarising fromconstraining theratio ofthe ttbj tottbb contributionsinthefittomatchtheMCpredictionis eval-uated by comparing the result withand without the constraint. The numberof pileup interactions in data isestimated fromthe measured bunch-to-bunchinstantaneous luminosity andthetotal inelasticcross section. The systematicuncertaintyin the number ofpileupevents isestimatedby conservatively varyingthiscross section by 5% to cover all the uncertainties in the modellingof the pileup physics. The contributions from Drell–Yan and single topquarkprocessesaresmall, andtheshapesofthedistributions fromthesebackgroundsaresimilartothoseofthettLF component. Therefore,thesebackgrounds donot affectthemeasurement sig-nificantly.Fortheefficiencyofttjj events,theuncertaintyowingto theheavy-flavourfractionisestimatedbyvaryingthecontribution by50%.Anuncertaintytoaccountforthevariationofthettcc frac-tioninthefitisalsoassignedbyvaryingthecontributionby 50%. Thisvariationischosen becausethetheoreticaluncertaintyinthe ttjj crosssection is lessthan50%, andthe fittedttcc fraction

re-mains within 50% of the input value when fitting with the ttcc contributionasafreeparameter.

The dependence of the correction factor forthe particle level ontheassumptions madeintheMC simulationisanothersource ofsystematicuncertainty:thegenerators MadGraph and powheg arecomparedandthedifferenceintheefficiencyratioistakenas the systematic uncertainty. The uncertainties from the factoriza-tion/renormalization scalesandthe matchingscalethat separates jetsfromMEandfrompartonshowersin MadGraph areestimated byvaryingthescalesafactoroftwoupanddownwithrespectto theirreferencevalues.TheuncertaintiesinthePDFsareaccounted forbyfollowingthePDF4LHCprescription[45].

The total systematic uncertainty in the cross section ratio is 22%, with the dominant contributions from the b-tagging ef-ficiency and the misidentification of light-flavoured partons, fol-lowedbytherenormalization/factorizationandmatchingscale sys-tematicuncertainties.

Theuncertaintyin σttjj issignificantlysmallerthanthatin σttbb

since themeasurement ofthelatterrequires theidentificationof multiplebjets.Theuncertaintyin σ_ttbb islargerthanthat forthe cross section ratio since uncertainties that are commonbetween ttbb andttjj,such asthejetenergyscaleuncertainty,partiallyor completelycancelintheratio.

The systematic uncertainties in the measurements with a pT

thresholdof40 GeV/c arefound tobe verysimilar tothosewith a 20 GeV/c threshold. Theuncertainty fromthefactorizationand renormalization scales for the higher-pT threshold of 40 GeV/c

cannot be accurately determined owing to the statistical uncer-tainties in the MC sample. Thus, the pT>40 GeV/c threshold

This result isfor the visiblephase space, definedas events hav-ing twoleptons withpT>20 GeV/c and|η|<2.4,plus fourjets,

including twob jetswith pT>20 GeV/c and |η|<2.5.The

pre-dicted value from both MadGraph and powheg is found to be 0.016±0.002, where the MC uncertainty is the sum in quadra-tureofthestatisticaluncertaintyandthesystematicuncertainties from the factorization/renormalization and the matching scales. The measured cross sectionsare presented inTable 4.When the ttH contribution issubtracted fromthedata,the ratioisreduced by only 4%, much less than the overall uncertainty. Therefore, compared to the uncertainties, the contribution from ttH can be considered negligible.Themeasuredfull phasespaceratiowitha minimum pT of20 GeV/c forparton-leveljetsisconsistentwithin
