    This is the pre-print version of the final published paper that is available from the link belowSearches for anomalous top quark-antiquark production are presented, based on pp collisions at √s=8  TeV . The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19:7 fb^-1, were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The observed tt invariant mass spectrum is found to be compatible with the standard model prediction. Limits on the production cross section times branching fraction probe, for the first time, a region of parameter space for certain models of new physics not yet constrained by precision measurements
