Abstract
<jats:title>A<jats:sc>bstract</jats:sc></jats:title><jats:p>A search for neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is reported. The analysis is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The data were recorded in 2011 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>to 4.8 fb<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>. Higgs boson decays into oppositely-charged muon or<jats:italic>τ</jats:italic>lepton pairs are considered for final states requiring either the presence or absence of<jats:italic>b</jats:italic>-jets. No statistically significant excess over the expected background is observed and exclusion limits at the 95% confidence level are derived. The exclusion limits are for the production cross-section of a generic neutral Higgs boson,<jats:italic>ϕ</jats:italic>, as a function of the Higgs boson mass and for<jats:italic>h</jats:italic>/<jats:italic>A</jats:italic>/<jats:italic>H</jats:italic>production in the MSSM as a function of the parameters<jats:italic>m</jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>A</jats:italic></jats:sub>and tan<jats:italic>β</jats:italic>in the<jats:inline-formula><jats:tex-math>$ m_h^{\max } $</jats:tex-math></jats:inline-formula>scenario for<jats:italic>m</jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>A</jats:italic></jats:sub>in the range of 90 GeV to 500 GeV.</jats:p>
