QCD thermodynamics at non-zero isospin asymmetry

Abstract

We study the thermodynamic properties of QCD at nonzero isospin chemical potential using improved staggered quarks at physical quark masses. In particular, we discuss the determination of the equation of state at zero and nonzero temperatures and show results. Using the results for the isospin density 𝑛 𝐼 , we also determine the phase diagram in the (𝑛 𝐼 , 𝑇)-plane.
