Lattice QCD at finite isospin density

Abstract

We have simulated QCD at a finite chemical potential ${\mu }_I$ for isospin ($I_3$) to probe part of the phase diagram for nuclear matter. Preliminary results suggest that for ${\mu }_I>{\mu }_c$, this theory forms a charged pion condensate which spontaneously breaks $I_3$, and the isospin density is non zero.
