The exact lattice-continuum relations, needed in order to perform lattice simulations with physical parameters, are computed to order O(a^0) in lattice perturbation theory. Lattice simulations are performed to determine the phase structure of a subset of the parameter space.28 pages, 11 figures; v3: references rearranged, typos corrected, figs changed, published versionHigh Energy Physics - LatticeHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
