Abstract

We study the finite-temperature phase transition of the four-dimensional SU(2) gauge-Higgs model for intermediate values of the Higgs boson mass in the range $50 \lsim m_H \lsim 100$ GeV on a lattice with the temporal lattice size $N_t=2$ . The order of the transition is systematically examined using finite size scaling methods. Behavior of the interface tension and the latent heat for an increasing Higgs boson mass is also investigated.
