Read article 'ATLAS illuminates the Higgs boson at 13 TeV'
The Higgs-to-two-photons decay played a crucial role in the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 owing to the excellent mass resolution and well-modelled backgrounds in this channel.
Read article 'We need to talk about the Higgs'
Tim Gershon of LHCb argues that apparently harmless academic discussions risk evolving into a negative outlook for the field.
Read article 'ATLAS measures rare top plus boson production'
In two new results, ATLAS presents strong evidence for the production of a single top quark in association with a Z boson.
Read article 'CMS studies rare top-quark processes'
No more than a few hundred tZq events and a dozen tttt events were expected after selection.
Read article 'ATLAS reports direct evidence for Higgs–top coupling'
The coupling can be directly probed by measuring the rate of events in which a Higgs boson is produced in association with a pair of top quarks.
Read article 'CMS sees Higgs boson decaying to b-quarks'
The Higgs boson decays to a pair of b quarks is by far the most frequent decay channel, however the signal is overwhelmed by QCD production.

While only retaining 40% of the events, the total uncertainty is improved by 19%, leading to a top-quark mass of 172.08±0.91 GeV.
