A search for neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric StandardModel (MSSM) is reported. The analysis is based on a sample of proton-proton collisionsat a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large HadronCollider. The data were recorded in 2011 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of4.7 fb−1 to 4.8 fb−1 . Higgs boson decays into oppositely-charged muon or τ lepton pairs areconsidered for final states requiring either the presence or absence of b-jets. No statisticallysignificant excess over the expected background is observed and exclusion limits at the 95%confidence level are derived. The exclusion limits are for the production cross-section ofa generic neutral Higgs boson, φ, as a function of the Higgs boson mass and for h/A/Hproduction in the MSSM as a function of the parameters mA and tan β in the mmax scenariohfor mA in the range of 90 GeV to 500 GeV.
