Abstract
We study the Abelian Higgs model using an improved form of the action in th e scalar sector. The subleading corrections are carefully analyzed and the connection between lattice and continuous parameters is worked out. The mod el is simulated for m(H) = 30 GeV and a remarkable improvement of the numer ical performance is achieved for this value of the Higgs mass.
