Sumario:Searches for BSM particles using the 126 GeV Higgs boson have been carried out with the CMS detector at LHC, based on pp collision data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. The talk presents the latest results and gives a brief review of earlier results. A search for heavy resonances decaying to Zgamma is presented. This search is based on the data collected with the CMS detector at 13 TeV. The search strategy is to look for an excess above the non-resonant Standard Model background in the Zgamma invariant mass spectrum. The background is extracted directly from data and compared with the signal expected to be produced by hypothetical scalar resonances. While the HH production within the Standard Model is very small and essentially out of the experimental reach within the LHC Run II, several theories foresee an enhancement that can be already probed with the available data. The latest searches for resonant and non-resonant Higgs pair production, made using 13 TeV pp collisions data recorded by the CMS experiment in 2015 and 2016, are presented.
