Abstract
We analyze the Higgs sector of the Standard Model in the light of recently found exact solutions of its dynamical equation. We work in a conformal regime with zero mass term. It is seen that, provided self-interaction coupling is finite, the field acquires mass and behaves exactly as a vanilla Higgs field at the tree level. Changes are expected in the decay rates to vector bosons. We evaluate this with a quantitative analysis showing how difficult could be to observe higher excited states of the Higgs field presently. This field works like an impostor with respect to the Standard Model formulation.
