The analysis is performed in the H ? µt had channel, where t had is a hadronically decaying t -lepton. The search is based on the data sample of proton-proton collisions collected by the ATLAS experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb-1 at a centre-of-mass energy of s v =8 s=8 TeV. No statistically significant excess of data over the predicted background is observed. The observed (expected) 95% confidence-level upper limit on the branching fraction, Br(H ? µt ), is 1.85% (1.24%).
