Search for the Higgs boson in fermionic channels using the ATLAS detector

Since the discovery of a Higgs-like boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, the emphasis has shifted towards measurements of its properties and the search in the less sensitive channels in order to determine whether the new particle is the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. Of particular importance is the direct observation of the coupling of the Higgs boson to fermions. In this presentation a review of ATLAS results in the search for the Higgs boson in muon, tau-lepton, b-quark pair decay channels will be given.
