In models of composite Higgs dynamics new composite pseudoscalars can interact with the Higgs and electroweak gauge bosons via anomalous interactions, stemming from the topological sector of the underlying theory. We show that a future 100…

This Letter presents a search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson to a pair of new (pseudo)scalar particles, $H\to aa$, where the $a$ particle has a mass in the range 20-60 GeV, and where one of the $a$ bosons decays into a pair of photons…
