Abstract
A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson with the decay is presented. The data correspond to of integrated luminosity from proton-proton collisions at recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC during 2012. The data agree with the background expectation, and 95% confidence-level upper limits are placed on the cross section of this process. The observed (expected) limit, expressed in terms of the signal strength for , is (3.7). The measured value of the signal strength is .
