A numerical simulation of the full bosonic sector of the SU(2)×U(1) electroweak standard model in 3+1 dimensions demonstrates the existence of an oscillon—an extremely long-lived, localized, oscillatory solution to the equations of motion—when the Higgs mass is equal to twice the W^± boson mass. The oscillon contains total energy 7 TeV localized in a region of radius 0.05 fm.
