Rare Higgs Decays

Higgs is light enough that its dominant decay is to a pair of b and anti-b quarks, 
while the decays to W and Z are phase-space suppressed. This means that the decay 
width of the Higgs is small, only 4 MeV in the Standard Model. Non-standard Higgs 
decays can thus be relatively important and can be used to search for New  Physics. 
In my talk I will mainly focus on the constraints we already have from the low energy
observables on CP violating Higgs decays as well as on how light-quark Yukawa 
couplings could in principle be measured from exclusive Higgs decays.
