 Reference to look for general motivation on exotic Higgs decays, possible models, etc, as well as for information on theoretical work and experimental analylis (as of 2013!): Review/compendium work on exotic Higgs decays from Curtin, Gori, Shelton, Strassler et al [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1312.4992|1312.4992]].

+We consider two decay modes of $\phi$: $\phi \to \gamma \gamma$, $\phi \to \mu \mu$
+  * $\phi$ -> $\gamma\gamma$. (**SG,AL**)
-**$\phi$ -> $\gamma\gamma$**. Preliminary study from Bauer, Neubert, Thamm [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.00443|1708.00443]] (see also [[https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.08207.pdf|1704.08207]]).  They put limits on very light ALPs (m_a < 47 MeV) from constraints on h -> Z $\gamma$, since for m_a < 47 MeV the two photons from the ALP decay are very collimated and seen as one in the detector. For not-so-light ALPs, they compute just number of signal events for gg -> h -> Z $\phi$, and assume limits for 100 events at LHC

+  - SM background generation. **[SG,AL]**
+  - Generate signal: study kinematics of different $h$ production modes, as well as $m_{\phi}$ dependence.**[SG,AL]**
+  - Contur study (related to next item). Give **JB** range of parameters to scan for the model.
+  - Other constraints. 1) Higgs signal strengths bound on partial BSM width **[JN, SW]** 2) LEP Z width: Z → $h^*$ $\phi$, $h^*\to bb...$ leads to constraints from Z total width. **[JN, SW]** 3) LEP Exclusive Z decays? 4)...

+Similar strategy to the one above!  In principle above 10 GeV we are safe from SM low mass resonances. Below 10 GeV? Also, how low can one go in mass by playing with muon isolation.
