We discuss the exotic Higgs decay into two light pseudoscalar particles. The first part of the talk focuses on the theoretical origin of such a decay channel within an EFT framework. We discuss possible decays of the light pseudoscalar, the expected sensitivity and the complementarity of LHC measurements to results from other experiments. The second part of the talk contains a detailed discussion of several decay channels and the corresponding analyses at CMS.
