Miscellaneous results on the electroweak phase transition

Abstract

We present new 4-D Monte Carlo results characterizing the strength of the finite temperature phase transition for Higgs/W mass ratios 1.0 and 0.6, obtained on isotropic lattices mainly with N{sub s}=16, N{sub t}=2. We discuss the distribution of an gauge invariant block spin order parameter, estimating the Higgs condensate {phi}{sub c} at T{sub c}. We use the Potvin/Rebbi method in order to find the interface tension {alpha}/T{sub c}{sup 3}. We demonstrate how the multi-histogram method (giving free energy differences) can be used to avoid the limiting procedure {delta}k{yields}0. From pure-phase histograms at {kappa}{sub c}, extrapolated with the help of this method, we estimate the latent heat {Delta}arepsilon/T{sub c}{sup 4}. Actual time series at lower Higgs mass require blocking in order to determine the jump of the lattice observables. ((orig.)).
