Non-perturbative lattice simulations have shown that there is no electroweak phase transition in the Standard Model for the allowed Higgs masses, m_H \gsim 75 GeV. In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in contrast, it has been proposed that the transition should exist and even be strong enough for baryogenesis up to m_H ~ 105 GeV, provided that the lightest stop mass is in the range 100...160 GeV. However, this prediction is based on perturbation theory, and suffers from a noticeable gauge parameter and renormalization scale dependence. We have performed large-scale lattice Monte Carlo simulations of the MSSM electroweak phase transition. Extrapolating the results to the infinite volume and continuum limits, we find that the transition is in fact stronger than indicated by 2-loop perturbation theory. This guarantees that the perturbative Higgs mass bound m_H ~ 105 GeV is a conservative one, allows slightly larger stop masses (up to ~ 165 GeV), and provides a strong motivation for further studies of MSSM electroweak baryogenesis.
