Title: "Evasive Higgs Manoeuvres at the LHC"

Abstract:

Non-standard decays of the Higgs boson produced at the Large Hadron 
Collider can lead to signatures which can easily be missed due to
non-adapted trigger or search strategies. In this talk I describe 
how simple modifications of the SM Higgs sector can weaken current
LHC bounds and how to eventually regain sensitivity to such scenarios
exploiting novel sub-jet techniques and combinations of different search
strategies. Finally I am going to discuss some implications of the observed 
125 GeV excess.
