Description

Measuring the cross-section of single top quark production in association with a photon ($tq\gamma$) is an important test for the Standard Model. However, this process has not been observed yet. It is sensitive to the top quark charge and its interactions with $W^{\pm}$ bosons and photons. In this talk, I will present the status of ATLAS experiment's search for $tq\gamma$ production using 149 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collision data collected in the LHC Run-2 data taking period at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV.
