Description

We study QCD with Wilson fermions in the presence of an isospin chemical potential mu_I. At zero temperature, condensation of iso-positive pions is expected to occur as soon as mu_I reaches half the pion mass. By looking at the isospin density and the mass spectrum of mesons as a function of mu_I, we investigate this pion condensation on the lattice and extend the study to non-zero temperature. By increasing mu_I further, we also look for a possible condensation of additional mesons and for a saturation transition.
