A new search signature for excited leptons is explored. Excited muons are sought in the channel pp→μμ∗→μμ jetjet, assuming both the production and decay occur via a contact interaction. The analysis is based on 20.3 fb(−)(1) of pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=8TeV taken with the ATLAS detector at the large hadron collider. No evidence of excited muons is found, and limits are set at the 95% confidence level on the cross section times branching ratio as a function of the excited-muon mass mμ∗. For mμ∗ between 1.3 and 3.0 TeV, the upper limit on σB(μ∗→μqq¯) is between 0.6 and 1 fb. Limits on σB are converted to lower bounds on the compositeness scale Λ. In the limiting case Λ=mμ∗, excited muons with a mass below 2.8 TeV are excluded. With the same model assumptions, these limits at larger μ∗ masses improve upon previous limits from traditional searches based on the gauge-mediated decay μ∗→μγ.
