AbstractThe standard model (SM) production of four top quarks ($$\text {t} {}{\overline{\text {t}}} \text {t} {}{\overline{\text {t}}} $$<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:mtext>t</mml:mtext><mml:mrow/><mml:mover><mml:mtext>t</mml:mtext><mml:mo>¯</mml:mo></mml:mover><mml:mtext>t</mml:mtext><mml:mrow/><mml:mover><mml:mtext>t</mml:mtext><mml:mo>¯</mml:mo></mml:mover></mml:mrow></mml:math>) in proton–proton collisions is studied by the CMS Collaboration.

The events are required to contain two same-sign charged leptons (electrons or muons) or at least three leptons, and jets.
