abstract
A measurement of the inclusive cross section of top quark pair production in association with a Z boson using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the LHC is performed. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 77.5 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the CMS experiment during 2016 and 2017. The measurement is performed using final states containing three or four charged leptons (electrons or muons), and the Z boson is detected through its decay to an oppositely charged lepton pair. The production cross section is measured to be $\sigma(\mathrm{t\bar{t}Z})$ $=$ 0.95 $\pm$ 0.05 (stat) $\pm$ 0.06 (syst) pb. For the first time, differential cross sections are measured as functions of the transverse momentum of the Z boson and the angular distribution of the negatively charged lepton from the Z boson decay. The most stringent direct limits to date on the anomalous couplings of the top quark to the Z boson are presented, including constraints on the Wilson coefficients in the framework of the standard model effective field theory.

Tailored PDFs for New Physics searches
Using closure tests with W', Z', and coloron models, the paper shows that either excluding high-energy data or fitting PDFs jointly with SMEFT coefficients prevents new-physics signals from being absorbed into the pro...

Search for production of four top quarks in final states with same-sign or multiple leptons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV
CMS measures the four-top-quark production cross section to be 12.6 +5.8 -5.2 fb with an observed significance of 2.6 standard deviations, consistent with the standard model prediction of 12.0 fb.

Analyzing $t\bar{t}Z$-couplings at the future $e^-p$ collider
At a future LHeC, the azimuthal angle between the scattered electron and the lepton from top decay could constrain the ttbarZ axial coupling to about 8% and the vector coupling to about 68% precision at 95% CL with 10...
