Description

The full set of data collected by CMS experiment at a centre of mass energy of 13 TeV allows searches for rare production modes of the Higgs boson, subdominant with respect the ones already observed at the LHC, by using a variety of decay modes profiting of the ones with largest expected branching fractions. They include associate production of the Higgs with two b-quarks, with a c-quark, or vector boson scattering production with two associated Ws. While the expected rate is still limited with the collected data, these modes become enhanced in several BSM theories and can be used to constrain such models.
