Higgs boson as a dilaton

We study possible phenomenological consequences of the recently proposed new approach to the Weinberg-Salam model. The electroweak theory is considered as a gravity and the Higgs particle is interpreted in it as a dilaton, without the usual potential of interaction in the Higgs sector. We have taken as a test the process of photon pair production, e+ + e-→ Z + γ + γ. In the framework of new formulation this reaction is mediated in the lowest order by the dilaton. The cross section is found to be rather small.
