Abstract
We investigate thermalization processes occurring at different time sc ales in the Yang-Mills-Higgs system at high temperatures. We determine the largest Lyapunov exponent associated with the gauge fields and ve rify its relation to the perturbatively calculated damping rate of a s tatic gauge boson.
