@JohnDuffield But, what I am not sure in: here is the lagrange density of the Higgs:
theory.sinp.msu.ru/comphep_old/tutorial/img472.gif . As I know, the first part of the field is the kinetical term, and the second is the well-known mexican hat potential. On my little understand I interpret this formula, that the space-derivate of the Higgs field has also an energy density (from the kinetical term), and this is added to the mexican hat potential.
