A search for the b b ̄ 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 30.6 fb-1 of p p data at √{s }=13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measured signal strength relative to the Standard Model prediction from the combined analysis is 2. 5-1.3+1.4 for inclusive Higgs boson production and 3. 0-1.6+1.7 for vector-boson fusion production only.
