Four top & ttbb production in pp

This posts shows code examples of Feynman diagrams of four top quark production in proton-proton collisions, as well ass ttbar plus bbbar production. For a nice overview from the experimental point of view, have a look at this review article by the CMS collaboration, published in Physics Reports.
