Search for the charged-lepton-flavor-violating decay Z → eμ in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV ATLAS detector

A search for the charged-lepton-flavor-violating process Z -> e mu is presented, using 139 fb(-1) of root s = 13 TeV pp collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. An excess in the e mu invariant mass spectrum near the Z boson mass would
