Abstract: (Springer)

A study of the decays

B^0_s \rightarrow \mu ^+\mu ^-

and

B^0 \rightarrow \mu ^+\mu ^-

has been performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 25 fb

^{-1}

of 7 and 8 TeV proton–proton collisions collected with the ATLAS detector during the LHC Run 1. For the

B^0

dimuon decay, an upper limit on the branching fraction is set at

\mathcal{B}(B^0 \rightarrow \mu ^+\mu ^-) < 4.2 \times 10^{-10}

at 95 % confidence level. For

B^0_s

, the branching fraction

\mathcal{B}(B^0_s \rightarrow \mu ^+\mu ^-) = \left( 0.9^{+1.1-0.8} \right) \times 10^{-9}

is measured. The results are consistent with the Standard Model expectation with a p value of 4.8 %, corresponding to 2.0 standard deviations.
