Measurements and searches performed with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider often involve signatures with one or more prompt leptons. Such analyses are subject to `fake/non-prompt' lepton backgrounds, where either a hadron or a lepton from a hadron decay or an electron from a photon conversion satisfies the prompt-lepton selection criteria. These backgrounds often arise within a hadronic jet because of particle decays in the showering process, particle misidentification or particle interactions with the detector material. As it is challenging to model these processes with high accuracy in simulation, their estimation typically uses data-driven methods. Three methods for carrying out this estimation are described, along with their implementation in ATLAS and their performance.

  1. Search for Lorentz-boosted di-$\tau$ resonances produced in association with top quark pairs in $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    No excess is seen; ATLAS sets a 0.19 fb model-independent visible cross-section limit and 2HDM σ×BR limits of 0.4–0.05 pb for ma = 20–85 GeV using boosted di-τ reconstruction.

  2. Measurements of the electroweak production of a $W$ boson in association with two jets at $\sqrt{s}=13\,\mathrm{TeV}$ with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    First differential electroweak W+two-jet cross sections at 13 TeV agree with the Standard Model and give competitive constraints on anomalous triple-gauge-boson couplings.

  3. Evidence for longitudinally polarised $Z$ bosons in electroweak $W^{\pm}Z$ production in association with two jets from $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV and 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    First measurement of the fraction of longitudinally polarised Z bosons in electroweak WZ+two-jet production: f_X0 = 0.32 ± 0.09, a 4.0σ signal consistent with the Standard Model.

  4. Measurement of the $|V_{cb}|$ element of the CKM matrix in $t\bar{t}$ decays with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-03 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    ATLAS measures |Vcb|=(50 +11/−14)×10^−3 from on-shell W→cb decays in ttbar events, the first such measurement at the weak scale.

  5. Study of $t\bar{t}H$ and $tH$ production in the $H\to\tau\tau$ channel in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Simultaneous measurement of ttH (mu=1.51) and tH (mu=-0.4) in fully hadronic H→tau tau final states at 13/13.6 TeV, consistent with the Standard Model.

  6. Search for decays of the Higgs boson into pair-produced pseudoscalar particles decaying into $\tau^+\tau^-\tau^+\tau^-$ using $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-03 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    No significant excess is observed; 95% CL upper limits on B(H→aa→4τ) range from 0.06 to 0.23 for ma between 15 and 60 GeV.

  7. Measurement of the Higgs boson production in association with top quarks in multilepton final states in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    ATLAS measures the ttH cross-section at 0.63+0.20−0.19 of the Standard Model prediction (3.3σ observed, 5.3σ expected) and excludes top-Higgs CP-mixing angles |α|>62° at 68% confidence.

  8. Search for heavy neutral leptons in decays of W bosons produced in 13 TeV pp collisions using prompt signatures in the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2025-08 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    The ATLAS search finds no evidence of heavy neutral leptons in W boson decays and sets the strongest limits to date on their mixing with electron and muon neutrinos in the 15-30 GeV mass range.
