Final states with two, three or 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 the absolute and normalised differential cross-section measurements are performed at particle level and parton level for specific fiducial volumes, and are compared with NLO+NNLL theoretical predictions. The results are interpreted in the framework of 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 $t\bar{t}Z$ events 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 = {p p: colliding beams (INSPIRE) / top: pair production (INSPIRE) / Z0: associated production (INSPIRE) / spin: correlation (INSPIRE) / p p: scattering (INSPIRE) / channel cross section: measured (INSPIRE) / effective field theory (INSPIRE) / operator: higher-order (INSPIRE) / dimension: 6 (INSPIRE) / ATLAS (INSPIRE) / differential cross section: measured (INSPIRE) / muon (INSPIRE) / electron (INSPIRE) / final state: ((n)jet dilepton) (INSPIRE) / final state: ((n)jet 3lepton) (INSPIRE) / final state: ((n)jet 4lepton) (INSPIRE) / perturbation theory: higher-order (INSPIRE) / higher-order: 1 (INSPIRE) / CERN LHC Coll (INSPIRE) / kinematics (INSPIRE) / parton (INSPIRE) / experimental results (INSPIRE) / 13000 GeV-cms (INSPIRE)}, cin = {ATLAS}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)ATLAS-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF4-611) / DFG project 469666862 - Präzisionstests des Standardmodells unter der Verwendung von geboosteten W/Z-Bosonen am Large Hadron Collider (469666862)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-611 / G:(GEPRIS)469666862}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-ATLAS-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, eprint = {2312.04450}, howpublished = {arXiv:2312.04450}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:2312.04450;\%\%$}, UT = {WOS:001394631700001}, doi = {10.1007/JHEP07(2024)163}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/612352}, }
