Abstract
We determine the interface tension of the finite-temperature electroweak phase transition in a numerical investigation of the SU(2)--Higgs model on a four-dimensional lattice with temporal extension . In this simulation the chosen parameters correspond to a Higgs boson mass of about 16 GeV. As a result the interface tension shows only small scaling violations in comparison with previous studies for lattices. We also report on some experiences with autocorrelations in the applied Monte Carlo simulations of two-phase systems.
