Abstract
This article reviews recent measurements of the properties of the standard model (SM) Higgs boson using data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC: its mass, width and couplings to other SM particles. We also summarise highlights from searches for new physical phenomena in the Higgs sector as they are proposed in many extensions of the SM: flavour violating and invisible decay modes, resonances decaying into Higgs bosons and searches for additional Higgs bosons.

Summary
With the discovery of a Higgs boson like particle with mass 125 GeV at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, the focus has shifted from searching for the Higgs boson to the precise measurement of the new particle’s properties. The Higgs boson mass in the standard model (SM) suffers from large radiative corrections which can be many orders of magnitude larger than the mass itself. Several extensions to the SM have been proposed to solve this problem, many of which introduce additional Higgs bosons. We summarise recent results related to SM Higgs boson measurements and searches for beyond SM phenomena in the Higgs sector using data recorded with the CMS detector at LHC.
