contents As an alternative to the metastability of the electroweak vacuum, resulting from perturbative calculations, one can consider a non-perturbative effective potential which, as at the beginning of the Standard Model, is restricted to the pure $Φ^4$ sector yet consistent with the known analytical and numerical studies. In this approach, where the electroweak vacuum is now the lowest-energy state, besides the resonance of mass $m_h=$ 125 GeV defined by the quadratic shape of the potential at its minimum, the Higgs field should exhibit a second resonance with mass $(M_H)^{\rm Theor}=690\,(30)$ GeV associated with the zero-point energy determining the potential depth. In spite of its large mass, this resonance would couple to longitudinal $W$s with the same typical strength as the low-mass state at 125 GeV and represent a relatively narrow resonance, mainly produced at LHC by gluon-gluon fusion. In this Letter, we review LHC data suggesting a new resonance of mass $(M_H)^{\rm EXP} \sim 682\,(10)$ GeV, with a statistical significance that is far from negligible.
