Abstract

The mass spectrum of the 3d SU(2) Higgs model for states with quantum numbers $0^{++}$ , $2^{++}$ and $1^{--}$ as obtained from lattice simulations is presented in the Higgs and confinement regions, both for a small and a large scalar coupling. In the latter case it is possible to continuously connect the spectra and observe the transition from confining to Higgs physics via decay of flux loops.
