We report on the magnetic and superconducting properties of LaO0.5F0.5BiS2 by
means of zero- (ZF) and transverse-field (TF) muon-spin spectroscopy
measurements (uSR). Contrary to previous results on iron-based superconductors,
measurements in zero field demonstrate the absence of magnetically ordered
phases. TF-uSR data give access to the superfluid density, which shows a marked
2D character with a dominant s-wave temperature behavior. The field dependence
of the magnetic penetration depth confirms this finding and further suggests
the presence of an anisotropic superconducting gap
