Description
Exotic decays of the Higgs boson are a well-motivated possibility, even with the discovery of a Higgs particle consistent with the SM, and they may provide the only window into BSM physics at the LHC. The Higgs boson can be used as a probe for new physics in many BSM scenarios, and this talk will cover the recent searches for exotic decays of the Higgs boson, using proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Higgs boson decays that are not expected in the SM, such as decays to pairs of light (pseudo) scalars, will also be covered.
