  Higher dimensional non-renormalizable operators may modify the Standard Model
Higgs potential in many interesting ways. Here, we consider the appearance of a
second vacuum which may play an important role in cosmology. For the certain
range of parameters, the usual second order electroweak phase transition is
followed by a first order phase transition that may drive the late time
accelerated expansion of the universe. Such a potential contains kink-like
solutions which in turn can play a crucial role in reconstructing the global
shape of the potential in colliders, as we explicitly demonstrate.
