A search for the dimuon decay of the Higgs boson is presented based on p p collision data recorded by ATLAS during Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 165 fb − 1 at s = 13.6 TeV . To enhance the sensitivity, the results are combined with those from Run 2. An excess of events over the background is observed with a significance of 3.4 σ ( 2.5 σ expected). The best-fit signal strength is μ = 1.4 ± 0.4 . This result provides evidence for the H → μ μ decay with ATLAS data and offers a direct probe of the Higgs-boson Yukawa coupling to second-generation fermions.
