Abstract

These proceedings present a search for flavour-changing neutral-current (FCNC) interaction involving the top quark, Higgs boson and either the up or the charm quark, using 140 $\text{fb}^{-1}$ of 13 TeV proton--proton collision data from the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Two channels are considered: the production of top quark-antiquark pair with one top decaying via FCNC, and the associated production of a top quark and Higgs boson. Final states contain either two same-charge leptons, or three leptons of which two have the same charge. Observed (expected) upper limits on the branching rations are determined as $\mathcal{B}(t\to Hu)<2.8 (3.0) × 10^{-4}$ and $\mathcal{B}(t\to Hc)<3.3 (3.8) × 10^{-4}$.
