 +This appears to be one of the more promising scenarios for 13 TeV. A projection study would be interesting.
 +The figure below is the LO cross section for A_0 production in association with ttbar at 13 TeV as a function of the mass for tan beta = 1.

 +An summary of production cross sections for A0/H0 in the different production modes (ttH [Chris], bbH [Adam], tHj [Ken], tHW [Josemi], tbH+ [Aurelio, Aram]) might be an instructive thing to show.

 +Djouadi et al. discuss A/H->tt in the context of hMSSM (simple and 'model independent'​ approach). Low tan beta and above the threshold A/H->tt becomes the dominant decay and production cross section is still significant. They stress that this study is needed to fully cover the M_A and tan beta parameter space.  ​
