    The latest results in the search for rare and exotic Higgs boson decays in proton-proton collision events collected with the CMS detector at the LHC are presented. The searches are performed for several decay modes of Higgs boson including H→X(X→2ℓ)γ\mathrm{H}\rightarrow{\rm X (X \rightarrow2\ell)\gamma} (X=Z,γ∗X= {\rm Z}, \gamma^* and ℓ=e,μ\ell={\rm e},\mu), H→μμ/ee\mathrm{H}\rightarrow{ \mu\mu / {\rm e}{\rm e}}, invisible decays, lepton flavour violating decays and Higgs decay to light scalars or pseudo-scalars. No hint for new physics has been found from the analyzed results with the full LHC run-1 data collected during 2011 and 2012 at s=7−8\sqrt{s}=7-8 TeV and with the run-2 data at s=13\sqrt{s}=13 TeV collected during 2015 and 2016. Limits are set for all the searches which have been performed by CMS.Comment: Presented at ICNFP2017 6th International Conference on new Frontiers in Physics 201

    Results of the measurements of the 125 GeV Higgs boson properties with proton-proton collision data at s=13\sqrt{s}=13 TeV collected by CMS detector are presented. The used Higgs boson decay channels include the five major decay modes, H→γγ\mathrm{H}\rightarrow\gamma\gamma, H→ZZ→4ℓ\mathrm{H}\rightarrow{\rm Z}{\rm Z}\rightarrow4\ell, H→WW→ℓνℓν\mathrm{H}\rightarrow{\rm W}{\rm W}\rightarrow\ell\nu\ell\nu, H→τ+τ−\mathrm{H}\rightarrow\tau^{+}\tau^{-} and H→bbˉ\mathrm{H}\rightarrow b\bar{b}, and two rare decay modes, H→μ+μ−\mathrm{H}\rightarrow\mu^{+}\mu^{-} and H→Z/γ∗+γ→ℓℓγ\mathrm{H}\rightarrow{\rm Z}/\gamma^{*}+\gamma\rightarrow\ell\ell\gamma, with ℓ=e,μ\ell={\rm e},\mu. The measured Higgs boson properties include its mass, signal strength relative to the standard model prediction, signal strength modifiers for different Higgs boson production modes, coupling modifiers to fermions and bosons, effective coupling modifiers to photons and gluons, simplified template cross sections, fiducial cross sections. All results are consistent, within their uncertainties, with the expectations for the Standard Model Higgs boson.Comment: Presented at QCD 18 21st International Conference in Quantum Chromodynamic
