heal.abstract	We explore the phase diagram of the 5-D anisotropic Abelian Higgs model by Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, we study the transition between the confining phase and the four dimensional layered Higgs phase. We find that, in a certain region of the lattice parameter space, this transition can be first order and that each layer moves into the Higgs phase independently of the others ( decoupling of layers). For more information about the layer phase formation see ([1]-[4]) and the talk by S. Nicolis [5] in the same volume.	en
