Search for the decay B0s -> mu(+)mu(-) with the ATLAS detector

A blind analysis searching for the decay Bs0→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(Bs0→μ+μ−)
