  Numerical simulations are performed to study the finite temperature phase
transition in the SU(2) Higgs model on the lattice. The strength of the first
order phase transition is investigated by determining the latent heat and the
interface tension on $L_t=2$ lattices. The values of the Higgs boson mass
presently chosen are below 50 GeV. Our results are in qualitative agreement
with two-loop resummed perturbation theory.
