Abstract

Non-perturbative field-theory arguments and lattice simulations suggest the existence of a second resonance of the Higgs field in the Standard Model, with a mass close to 700 GeV. Remarkably, several small enhancements in precisely the same energy ballpark and from different processes can be seen in both ATLAS and CMS data, with a combined statistical significance that should not be ignored. Non- perturbative coupled-channel unitarity is proposed to estimate the width of the suggested resonance, resulting from its dominant top-antitop decay and mixing with the light Higgs at 125 GeV.
