Abstract

A blind analysis searching for the decay B_s⁰→μ⁺μ^- has been performed using proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. With an integrated luminosity of 2.4 fb^-1 no excess of events over the background expectation is found and an upper limit is set on the branching fraction BR(B_s⁰→μ⁺μ^-)<2.2(1.9)×10-8 at 95% (90%) confidence level.
