Abstract	Precision studies of the properties of the Higgs and gauge bosons may provide a unique window for the discovery of new physics at the LHC. New phenomena can in particular be revealed in the search for lepton-flavor-violating or exotic decays of the Higgs and Z bosons, as well as in their possible couplings to hidden-sector states that do not interact under Standard Model gauge transformations. This talk presents recent searches by the ATLAS experiment for decays of the Higgs and Z bosons to new particles, using collision data at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV collected during the LHC Run 2.
