abstract = {A search for pair production of doubly charged
Higgs bosons (H±±), each decaying into a pair of prompt,
isolated, and highly energetic leptons with the same electric
charge, is presented. The search uses a proton–proton collision
data sample at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding
to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 recorded
by the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC). This analysis focuses on same-charge leptonic
decays, H±± →

two-, three-, and four-lepton channels, but only considers
final states which include electrons or muons. No evidence
of a signal is observed. Corresponding upper limits on the
production cross-section of a doubly charged Higgs boson
are derived, as a function of its mass m(H±±
), at 95% confidence
level. Assuming that the branching ratios to each of the
possible leptonic final states are equal, B(H±± → e±e±

the observed (expected) lower limit on the mass of a doubly
charged Higgs boson is 1080GeV(1065 GeV) within the leftright
symmetric type-II seesaw model, which is the strongest
limit to date produced by the ATLAS Collaboration. Additionally,
this paper provides the first direct test of the Zee–
Babu neutrino mass model at the LHC, yielding an observed
(expected) lower limit of m(H±±
) = 900 GeV (880 GeV).},
