A search for the πβ’

decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson produced through vector-boson fusion is presented. Three mutually exclusive channels are considered: two all-hadronic channels and a photon-associated channel. Results are reported from the analysis of up to 30.6ββfbβ1 of πβ’π data at βπ =13ββTeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measured signal strength relative to the Standard Model prediction from the combined analysis is 2.β’5+1.4β1.3 for inclusive Higgs boson production and 3.β’0+1.7β1.6 for vector-boson fusion production only.
