The end point of the first-order phase transition of the SU(2) gauge-Higgs model on a four-dimensional isotropic lattice

Abstract

We report results of a study of the end point of the electroweak phase transition of the SU(2) gauge-Higgs model defined on a four-dimensional isotropic lattice with N_t=2. Finite-size scaling study of Lee-Yang zeros yields lambda_c=0.00116(16) for the end point. Combined with a zero-temperature measurement of Higgs and W boson masses, this leads to M_{H,c}=68.2+-6.6 GeV for the critical Higgs boson mass. An independent analysis of Binder cumulant gives a consistent value lambda_c=0.00102(3) for the end point.
