A search for the Zγ decay of the Higgs boson, with Z boson decays into pairs of electrons or muons is
presented. The analysis uses proton–proton collision data at √s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of 139 fb−1 recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed data
are consistent with the expected background with a p-value of 1.3%. An upper limit at 95% confidence
level on the production cross-section times the branching ratio for pp → H → Zγ is set at 3.6 times
the Standard Model prediction while 2.6 times is expected in the presence of the Standard Model Higgs
boson. The best-fit value for the signal yield normalised to the Standard Model prediction is 2.0+1.0
−0.9
where the statistical component of the uncertainty is dominant.
