Abstract: (Springer)
TheSU (2) Higgs model with a scalar doublet field is studied by Monte Carlo calculations on 124 and 164 lattices. The gauge coupling is chosen to be similar in magnitude to the physical value in the standard model. The numerical results at large scalar self-coupling imply an upper limitmH/mW≃9 for the ratio of the Higgs boson mass to the W-mass.
