Abstract
This paper presents a combination of searches for Higgs boson decays into a visible photon and a massless dark photon (H → γγa) using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit on the Standard Model Higgs boson decay branching ratio is B(H → γγa) < 1.3% (1.5)%. The search is also sensitive to higher-mass Higgs bosons. The observed (expected) 95% confidence level limit on the cross-section times branching ratio ranges from 16 fb (26 fb) for ma = 400 GeV to 1.0 fb (1.5 fb) for mH = 3 TeV. Results are interpreted in a minimal simplified model.
