Abstract: (arXiv)

A search for the decay

B^0\to\phi\mu^+\mu^-

is performed using proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb

^{-1}

. No evidence for the

B^0\to \phi \mu^+ \mu^-

decay is found and an upper limit on the branching fraction, excluding the

\phi

and charmonium regions in the dimuon spectrum, of

4.4 \times 10^{-3}

at a 90

\%

credibility level, relative to that of the

B^0_s \to \phi \mu^+ \mu^-

decay, is established. Using the measured

B^0_s\to\phi\mu^+\mu^-

branching fraction and assuming a phase-space model, the absolute branching fraction of the decay

B^0\to \phi \mu^+ \mu^-

in the full

q^2

range is determined to be less than

3.2 \times 10^{-9}

at a 90

\%

credibility level.
