Abstract
The Standard Model of elementary particles is based on the existence
of the Higgs particle, which is responsible for the electroweak symmetry
breaking but has not been detected in experiments so far. The next large
accelerator LHC might discover the Higgs and possibly indicate extensions
of the Standard Model. Among these there are theories in which the Higgs
is a relic of an unobserved extra dimension. We investigate the simplest
of these models, a gauge theory in five dimensions, on the lattice. Peculiar
orbifold boundary conditions are imposed in the extra dimension. We present
simulation results for the mass spectrum of the theory.
