BSM H searches and rare H decay searches at CMS and ATLAS

Searches for rare Higgs boson decays and extensions of the Higgs sector beyond the standard model are key to probing the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking. With the large LHC Run-2 dataset, considerable progress has been made in probing the largely unexplored Higgs boson interactions with the lighter fermions, as well as in searching for signs of new physics in the Higgs sector with mass scales ranging from 100 MeV to several TeV. The results presented here are either brand new for this conference, or were released in the weeks just before.
