Abstract: A direct search for lepton-flavour-violating (LFV) $Homuau$ decays of the recently discovered Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. The analysis is performed in the $Homua{u}_{mathrmhad}$ channel, where $a{u}_{mathrmhad}$ is a hadronically decaying $au$-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 $sqrts=8$ 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($Homuau$), is 1.85% (1.24%).
