$3$--Dimensional Approach to Hot Electroweak Matter for $M_{Higgs} \leq 70$ GeV

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We study the electroweak phase transition by lattice simulations of an effective 3-dimensional theory, for a Higgs mass of about 7070 GeV. Exploiting a variant of the equal weight criterion of phase equilibrium, we obtain transition temperature, latent heat and surface tension and compare with MH35M_H \approx 35 GeV. For the symmetric phase, bound state masses and the static force are determined and compared with results for pure SU(2)SU(2) theory.
