1  AAD 2021BC result is based on 139 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. The events are categorized according to the number of jets and how likely to contain ${{\mathit b}}$-hadrons and a multivariate analysis is used to discriminate the signal from backgrounds. The result corresponds to observed significance of 1.9 $\sigma $.
2  AAD 2021BC combines the results of the four-top-quark production cross section measured from the 1${{\mathit \ell}}$/opposite-sign 2${{\mathit \ell}}$ channel with that from the same-sign 2${{\mathit \ell}}/3{{\mathit \ell}}$ channel (AAD 2020AR). The result corresponds to observed significance of 4.7 $\sigma $ and is consistent within 2.0 $\sigma $ with the NLO (QCD+EW) SM prediction of $12.0$ $\pm2.4$ fb.
3  AAD 2020AR based on 139 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. Jet multiplicity, jet flavor and event kinematics are used in a multivariate analysis to discriminate the signal from backgrounds. The result corresponds to observed significance of 4.3$\sigma $ and is consistent within 1.7$\sigma $ with the NLO (QCD+EW) SM prediction of $12.0$ $\pm2.4$ fb.
4  SIRUNYAN 2020C based on 137 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. Both cut-based and multivariate approaches are taken to discriminate the signal from backgrounds. The result is in agreement with the NLO (QCD+EW) SM prediction of $12.0$ ${}^{+2.2}_{-2.5}$ fb. The measurement constrains the top quark Yukawa coupling strength parameter to be $\vert {{\mathit Y}_{{t}}}/{{\mathit Y}_{{t}}^{SM}}\vert $ $<$ 1.7 (95$\%$ CL). It is also used to constrain an oblique parameter of the Higgs boson.
5  AABOUD 2019AP based on 36.1 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. The upper limit corresponds to 5.1 times the NLO SM cross section.
6  AABOUD 2019AP limit from data combined with AABOUD 2018CE. The upper limit corresponds to 5.3 times the NLO SM cross section. Also a limit on the four-top-quark contact interaction of $\vert \mathit C_{4t}\vert /\Lambda {}^{2}$ $<$ 1.9 TeV${}^{-2}$ (95$\%$ CL) is obtained in an EFT model.
7  SIRUNYAN 2019CN based on 35.8 fb${}^{-1}$ of data, combined with SIRUNYAN 2018BU. The results are also interpreted in the effective field theory framework.
8  SIRUNYAN 2019CN based on 35.8 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. A multivariate analysis using global event and jet propoerties is performed to discriminate from ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ background.
9  AABOUD 2018CE based on 36.1 fb${}^{-1}$ of proton-proton data taken at $\sqrt {s }$ = 13 TeV. Events including a same-sign lepton pair are used. The result is consistent with the NLO SM cross section of 9.2 fb.
10  SIRUNYAN 2018BU based on 35.9 fb${}^{-1}$ of proton-proton data taken at $\sqrt {s }$ = 13 TeV. Yields from signal regions and control regions defined based on ${{\mathit N}_{{jets}}}$, ${{\mathit N}_{{b}}}$ and ${{\mathit N}_{{l}}}$ are combined in a maximum-likelihood fit. The result is in agreement with the NLO SM prediction $9.2$ ${}^{+2.9}_{-2.4}$ fb. The measurement constrains the top quark Yukawa coupling strength parameter to be $\vert \mathit Y_{t}/\mathit Y{}^{SM}_{t}\vert $ $<$ 2.1 (95$\%$ CL).
11  SIRUNYAN 2017AB based on 2.6 fb${}^{-1}$ of data. A multivariate analysis is used to discriminate between ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}{{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ signal and ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}$ background. A combination with a previous search (CMS, KHACHATRYAN 2016BJ) in the same-sign dilepton channel gives an upper limit of 69 fb (95$\%$ CL), corresponding to 7.4$\cdot{}$(SM prediction).
12  SIRUNYAN 2017S based on 35.9 fb${}^{-1}$. The limit is in agreement with the NLO SM prediction $9.2$ ${}^{+2.9}_{-2.4}$ fb. Superseded by SIRUNYAN 2018BU. The signal events are also used to constrain various new physics models.
