abstract
A search is presented for standard model (SM) production of four top quarks (t t-bar t t-bar) in pp collisions in the lepton + jets channel. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 inverse femtobarns recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The expected cross section for SM four top quark production is approximately 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 95% confidence level on the cross section for producing four top quarks in the SM, where a limit of 32 +/- 17 fb is expected.

KK Higgs produced in association with a top quark pair in the bulk RS Model
Using boosted top tagging in a four-top final state, the first Kaluza-Klein Higgs excitation in the deformed Randall-Sundrum model could be probed up to about 1.2 TeV at the high-luminosity LHC, at the 3-sigma level.
