Abstract
The Yukawa coupling of the Higgs boson to the top quark is a key parameter of the Standard Model. It can be constrained using the associated production process pp→tˉtH+X. A search for this process using final states with multiple leptons, primarily targeting the decays H→WW∗ and H→ττ, has been performed using the data set recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016 at a center of mass energy √s = 13 TeV. The analysis presented here includes two of the four final states distinguished by the number and flavor of leptons: two same-charge light leptons (e or μ) and no hadronically-decaying τ lepton candidates (2ℓ0τhad) and four light leptons (4ℓ), the remaining channels not covered being two same-charge light leptons and one hadronically-decaying τ lepton candidate (2ℓ1τhad) and three light leptons (3ℓ). The different background sources are also presented for each channel considered. The latest best-fit value for the ratio of observed versus Standard Model cross sections is then given as well as an upper limit on this parameter.
