Description

We discuss rare Higgs boson production and decay channel searches with the CMS experiment. A particular focus of this talk are searches for very rare Higgs boson decays to a neutral light meson or quarkonium and a photon or Z boson, whose standard model branching fraction predictions are in the range 10^{-4}-10^{-9}. Such searches can help constrain Yukawa couplings to light and charm quarks. Other rare Higgs boson production and decay channels, such as H->Zgamma, will also be discussed.
