abstract
Measurements of both the inclusive and differential production cross sections of a top-quark-top-antiquark pair in association with a $Z$ boson ($t\bar{t}Z$) are presented. Final states with two, three or four isolated leptons (electrons or muons) are targeted. The measurements use the data recorded by the ATLAS detector in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV at the Large Hadron Collider during the years 2015-2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $140$ fb$^{-1}$. The inclusive cross section is measured to be $\sigma_{t\bar{t}Z}= 0.86 \pm 0.04~\mathrm{(stat.)} \pm 0.04~\mathrm{(syst.)}~$pb and found to be in agreement with the most advanced Standard Model predictions. The differential measurements are presented as a function of a number of observables that probe the kinematics of the $t\bar{t}Z$ system. Both the absolute and normalised differential cross-section measurements are performed at particle level and parton level for specific fiducial volumes, and are compared with NLO+NNLL theoretical predictions. The results are interpreted in the framework of Standard Model effective field theory and used to set limits on a large number of dimension-6 operators involving the top quark. The first measurement of spin correlations in $t\bar{t}Z$ events is presented: the results are in agreement with the Standard Model expectations, and the null hypothesis of no spin correlations is disfavoured with a significance of $1.8$ standard deviations.

First search for electroweak ttWj production at 13 TeV sets observed (expected) 95% CL upper limits of 251 fb (230 fb) versus the SM prediction of 47.7 fb and constrains the O_Ht and O_HQ^(1) EFT operators.

A CKM blind spot: probing $b$-column rescaling with kaons
A uniform rescaling of the CKM b-column is invisible to B-physics-only fits, and kaon data already bound it to −4%…+4% (2σ), with projections reaching ~2%.

Measurement of the Higgs boson production in association with top quarks in multilepton final states in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
ATLAS measures the ttH cross-section at 0.63+0.20−0.19 of the Standard Model prediction (3.3σ observed, 5.3σ expected) and excludes top-Higgs CP-mixing angles |α|>62° at 68% confidence.

Analyzing $t\bar{t}Z$-couplings at the future $e^-p$ collider
At a future LHeC, the azimuthal angle between the scattered electron and the lepton from top decay could constrain the ttbarZ axial coupling to about 8% and the vector coupling to about 68% precision at 95% CL with 10...
