New Higgs decays to axion-like particles

We investigate the interactions of a light scalar with the Higgs boson and second-generation fermions, which trigger new rare decays of the Higgs boson into 4μ, 2μ2γ, 6μ and 4μ2j. We recast current LHC searches to constrain these decays and develop new collider analyses for those channels which are...
