PY - 2017 DA - 2017// TI - Search for lepton-flavour-violating decays of the Higgs and Z bosons with the ATLAS detector T2 - Eur. Phys. J. C JO - European Physical Journal C SP - 70 - 31pp VL - 77 IS - 2 PB - Springer AB - Direct searches for lepton flavour violation in decays of the Higgs and Z bosons with the ATLAS detector at the LHC are presented. The following three decays are considered: H -> e tau, H -> μtau, and Z -> μtau. The searches are based on the data sample of proton-proton collisions collected by the ATLAS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1) at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV. No significant excess is observed, and upper limits on the lepton-flavour-violating branching ratios are set at the 95% confidence level: Br(H -> e tau) < 1.04%, Br(H -> μtau) < 1.43%, and Br(Z -> μtau) < 1.69 x 10(-5).
