Description
A search is presented for decays beyond the standard model of the 125
GeV Higgs bosons to a pair of light bosons, based on models with
extended scalar sectors. Light boson masses between 5 and 62.5 GeV are
probed in final states containing four τ leptons, two muons and two
b quarks, or two muons and two τ leptons. The results are from data
in proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
19.7 fb-1, accumulated by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a
center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. No evidence for such exotic decays is
found in the data. Upper limits are set on the product of the cross
section and branching fraction for several signal processes. The results
are also compared to predictions of two-Higgs-doublet models, including
those with an additional scalar singlet. [Figure not available: see
