 +1. V phi, with phi -> gamma gamma, what does the LHC can say? 
 + 
 +bounds from LEP. what is the LHC capability?​ 
 + 
 +bounds from H coupling measurements to ZZ and EWPT 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +2. Complementarity with phi single production together with a ISR 
 + 
 +Light scalars (m_{phi} < m_h = 125 GeV) with no phi V V coupling (V = SM gauge boson) but coupling to fermions. Motivated in extended Higgs sectors (e.g. light Higgses in 2HDM) when the 125 GeV is SM like (2HDM "​alignment limit"​).  
 + 
 +Weakly constrained by LEP (no V phi production). Maybe challenging @ LHC? phi recoiling against a hard jet could allow to trigger on this (phi -> gamma gamma? tau tau?​). ​

 +3. Exotic Higgs decays: What are the holes? 
 + 
 +h -> a a, Z a, a a' with a, a' scalar/​pseudoscalar (for Z a, a is pseudoscalar)  
 +  
 +   * Current searches for h -> a a: 4 muon, 2 mu 2 b, 4 tau, 2 tau 2 mu, 4 b...  
 +   * Interesting to look at signatures with resolved/​not resolved photons: 2b 2gamma, 4 gamma (for unresolved 2 gamma pairs, measurement of h->gamma gamma could yield weak constraint) 
 +   * h -> Z a (a -> gamma gamma) has been initially studied by Bauer, Neubert, Thamm in [[https://​arxiv.org/​pdf/​1704.08207|1704.08207]],​ for a being an ALP (axion-like particle) 
 +   * h -> a a': if ma is different from ma', h -> a a searches would miss it (also depends on final state)  
 +                         
 + 
 +h->chi1 chi2 
 + 
 +  * Decays involving MET? (e.g. chi1 invisible); (Also considerable for h -> a a' and h -> Z a)  
 + 
 +Exotic Higgs decays into LLP (displaced vertices). Role of LHCb (also BaBar, Belle II)
