Higgs Search in bbˉb\bar{b} Signatures at ATLAS and CMS

We report on searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying to $b \bar{b}$ in $pp$ collisions at the ATLAS and CMS experiments. These rely on signatures where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a vector boson or in association with a top-quark pair. Results are presented, based on $5.0~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 7$~TeV and up to $13.0~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data at $\sqrt{s} = 8$~TeV collected by the LHC accelerator. These are expressed in terms of 95\% confidence level upper limits on the production cross section of the Standard Model Higgs boson times the branching ratio to decay to $b$-quark pair.We report on searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying to $b \bar{b}$ in $pp$ collisions at the ATLAS and CMS experiments.

Review of recent top-quark LHC combinations

A review of recent combinations of top-quark measurements performed at the LHC, by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, is provided. The typical uncertainty categorisations, and their assumed correlation patterns are presented, together with the results of the combinations of the top-quark pair and single top-quark production cross sections, the top-quark mass, as well as of the $W$ boson polarisation and the charge asymmetry in $t\bar t$ events.A review of recent combinations of top-quark measurements performed at the LHC, by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, is provided.
