h→μ+μ−h→μ+μ− via tt¯h production at the LHC

In this work, we examine the process at the LHC in which a Higgs boson is produced in association with a tt¯ pair and subsequently decays to a pair of muons. We show that the statistical significance for the discovery of a light, Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass around 120 GeV in this channel is comparable to those for other processes (gluon fusion, weak-boson fusion) in which the Higgs decays to a muon pair. Combining all three of these channels, we show that evidence for a Higgs boson with a mass in the range 115 GeV
