The search uses 139 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy root s = 13 TeV recorded between 2015 and 2018 by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. A narrow dimuon resonance is searched for in the invariant mass spectrum between 16 GeV and 62 GeV. The largest excess of events above the Standard Model backgrounds is observed at a dimuon invariant mass of 52 GeV and corresponds to a local (global) significance of 3.3 sigma (1.7 sigma). Upper limits at 95{\%} confidence level are placed on the branching ratio of the Higgs boson to the bb $\mu$$\mu$final state, beta(H -> aa -> bb $\mu$mu), and are in the range 0.2-4.0 x 10(-4), depending on the signal mass hypothesis.", optnote="WOS:000748662900004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5101), last updated on Wed, 09 Feb 2022 16:23:30 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.105.012006", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.00313", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.105.012006", language="English" }
