N2 - Searches for the exclusive decays of Higgs and Z bosons into a vector quarkonium state and a photon are performed in the μ+μ-γ final state with a proton–proton collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb - 1 collected at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

The 95% confidence-level upper limits on the branching fractions of the Higgs boson decays into J/ψγ , ψ(2S)γ , and Υ(1S,2S,3S)γ are found to be 2.0 × 10 - 4 , 10.5 × 10 - 4 , and (2.5 , 4.2 , 3.4) × 10 - 4 , respectively, assuming Standard Model production of the Higgs boson.
