The " Higgs mechanism" proposes that a field permeates space. In this field
are the Higgs bosons.
Paticles as leptons, quarks, W and Z bosons, interact with the Higgs boson and acquire mass.
Particles as gluons and photons does not interact with the Higgs boson and
does not acquire mass.
But...
1.- This mechanism does not explains the neutrino mass
2.- How came the Higgs boson.
3.- When this boson desintegrates, what is the product. ( In the event
that does not interact)

(if, in fact, you are asking anything).
But...
1.- The neutrino mass does indeed require yet another field/particle
2.- The Higgs boson is generated by gluon collisions.
3.- The Higgs boson disintegrates into pairs of W or Z bosons.
