Final states with two, three and four isolated leptons (electrons or muons) are targeted. The measurements use the data recorded by the ATLAS detector in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$~TeV at the Large Hadron Collider during the years 2015-2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $140$ fb$^{-1}$. The inclusive cross section is measured to be $\sigma_{t\bar{t}Z}= 0.86 \pm 0.04~\mathrm{(stat.)} \pm 0.04~\mathrm{(syst.)}~$pb and found to be in agreement with the most advanced Standard Model predictions. The differential measurements are presented as a function of a number of observables that probe the kinematics of the $t\bar{t}Z$ system. Both absolute and normalised differential cross section measurements are performed at particle- and parton-level for specific fiducial volumes, and are compared with theoretical predictions at NLO+NNLL. The results are interpreted in the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory and used to set limits on a large number of dimension-6 operators involving the top quark. The first measurement of spin correlations in $t\bar{t}Z$ is presented: the results are in agreement with the Standard Model expectations, and the null hypothesis of no spin correlations is disfavoured with a significance of $1.8$ standard deviations.}, keywords = {TOP (autogen) / TOP+X (autogen) / cross section (autogen) / inclusive (autogen) / differential (autogen) / unfolding (autogen) / multilepton (autogen) / eft (autogen) / effective field theory (autogen) / ttbar+boson (autogen)}, cin = {ATLAS}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)ATLAS-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF4-611)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-611}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-ATLAS-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)29}, doi = {10.3204/PUBDB-2023-07233}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/599226}, }
