Description
The LHC is a top factory and run 2 has delivered billions of top quarks to the experiments. In this contribution, the results are presented of searches by the ATLAS experiment for Charge Lepton Flavour Violation (cLFV), lepton flavour universality, Heavy-neutrinos, and rare flavour-changing neutral current interactions of the top quark (FCNC). FCNC analyses combine search regions targeted at top quark decays t -> qX with regions aimed at single top quark production pp -> tX, where X is either a gluon, photon, Z-boson or a Higgs boson. The large data set, together with advanced analysis techniques, allow to improve the sensitivity very significantly and competitive bounds on the equivalent BR(t->qH) are presented.
