A search is presented for four-top-quark production
using an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 of proton–
proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV
collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events are
selected if they contain a same-sign lepton pair or at least
three leptons (electrons or muons). Jetmultiplicity, jet flavour
and event kinematics are used to separate signal from the
background through a multivariate discriminant, and dedicated
control regions are used to constrain the dominant
backgrounds. The four-top-quark production cross section is
measured to be 24+7
−6 fb. This corresponds to an observed
(expected) significance with respect to the background-only
hypothesis of 4.3 (2.4) standard deviations and provides evidence
for this process.
