Abstract (data abstract)
A search for a new pseudoscalar boson produced in events with top quark pairs where the a boson decays to a pair of muons is performed using pp collision data at the LHC collected by the ATLAS detector at s=13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb1. This search targets the final state where only one top quark decay yields an electron or muon, resulting in a signature with three leptons eμμ and μμμ. No significant excess of events above the Standard Model expectation is observed and upper limits are set on two signal models, pptt¯a and pptt¯ with tH±b, H±W±a, where aμμ, in the mass ranges 15 GeV <ma<72 GeV and 120 GeV mH±160 GeV.
