This paper considers the single antenna, static, scalar Gaussian broadcast channel in the finite blocklength regime. Second order achievable and converse rate regions are presented. Both a global reliability and per-user reliability requirements are considered. The two-user case is analyzed in detail, and generalizations to the $K$ -user case are also discussed. The largest second order achievable regions presented here require both superposition and rate splitting in the code construction, as opposed to the (infinite blocklength, first order) capacity region which does not require rate splitting. Indeed, the finite blocklength penalty causes superposition alone to under-perform other coding techniques in some parts of the region. In addition, the proposed scheme uses joint simultaneous decoding as opposed to successive interference cancellation. Interestingly, in the two-user case with per-user reliability requirements, the capacity achieving superposition encoding order (with the codeword intended for the user with the smallest received SNR as cloud center) does not necessarily give the largest second order region. Instead, the message of the user with the smallest point-to-point second order capacity should be encoded in the cloud center in order to obtain the largest second order region for the proposed scheme.
