A measurement of the B⁰_s decay parameters in the B⁰_s→ J/ψϕ channel using an integrated luminosity of 14.3 fb^-1 collected by the ATLAS detector from 8 TeV pp collisions at the LHC is presented. The measured parameters include the CP-violating phase ϕ_s, the decay width Γ_s and the width difference between the mass eigenstates ΔΓ_s. The values measured for the physical parameters are statistically combined with those from 4.9 fb^-1 of 7 TeV data, leading to the following: Φ_s = -0.090 ± 0.078 (stat.) ± (syst.) rad ΔΓ_s = 0.085 ± 0.011 (stat.) ± 0.007 (syst.) ps^-1 Γ_s = 0.675 ± 0.003 (stat.) ± 0.03 (syst.) ps^-1 In the analysis the parameter ΔΓ_s is constrained to be positive. Results for ϕ_s and ΔΓ_s are also presented as 68% and 95% likelihood contours in the ϕ_s-ΔΓ_s plane. Also measured in this decay channel are the transversity amplitudes and corresponding strong phases. All measurements are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions.
