Abstract

Cross-section measurements for the production of a Z boson in association with one or two photons are performed using proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb1 recorded by the ATLAS experiment. The measurements are performed using the leptonic decay channels of the Z, and in a phase space region where the dominant photon production is from the incoming proton constituents, rather than off the leptons from the Z decay. The integrated fiducial cross-sections are measured to a precision of 3% and 12% for Zγ and Zγγ respectively, making these the most precise measurements of these processes to date. The cross-sections are also measured differentially and are compared to predictions from state-of-the-art theoretical calculations and Monte Carlo generators.
