Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in $H\rightarrow\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decays with the ATLAS detector

An inclusive search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the dimuon decay channel is presented. The search utilizes 20.7 $\textrm{fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2012. No evidence of a signal is seen, therefore upper limits are set on $\sigma(pp\rightarrow H+X)\times \Gamma(H\rightarrow\mu^{+}\mu^{-})$ as a function of the Higgs boson mass.The observed (expected) limit at the 95% CL for the Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV is 9.8 (8.2) times the Standard Model prediction.
