Abstract
Dimensional reduction and effective field theory methods are applied to the Two Higgs Doublet Model at finite temperature. A sequence of two effective three-dimensional field theories which are valid on successively longer di stance scales is constructed. The resulting Lagrangian can be used to study different aspects of the phase transition in this model as well as the sph aleron rate immediately after the phase transition.
