## TL;DR

This paper shows that multi-top production processes at the LHC can effectively constrain the CP nature of the top-Higgs interaction and the Higgs boson width, providing new bounds with current and future data.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel approach combining multiple top-related processes to tightly bound the CP-phase and width of the Higgs boson at the LHC.

## Key findings

- Four top-quark production excludes purely CP-odd Yukawa coupling at 13 TeV with 430 fb^{-1}.
- Combined measurements constrain CP-phase and Higgs width at 300 and 3000 fb^{-1}.
- Multi-top processes are powerful probes of top-Higgs interactions.

## Abstract

We demonstrate that the multi-top productions efficiently probe the CP-property of top-Higgs interaction and the Higgs-boson width at the LHC. The four top-quark production alone can exclude a purely CP-odd top-quark Yukawa coupling at the 13~TeV LHC with an integrated luminosity of $430~{\rm fb}^{-1}$, regardless the size of the Yukawa coupling. Combining the single Higgs-boson production, the $t\bar{t}H$ associated production and the four top-quark production, we show that the CP-phase of the top-quark Yukawa coupling and the Higgs-boson width can be stringently bounded at the LHC with integrated luminosities of $300~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ and $3000~{\rm fb}^{-1}$.
