Abstract

We investigate the SU(2) Higgs model at a Higgs Boson mass of 34 GeV for temperatures at the electroweak scale. We discuss in detail the critical temperature, the scalar field vacuum expectation value and the latent heat. We also consider for which temperatures the plasma can be regarded as radiation dominated.
