QCD at finite isospin density: Chiral perturbation theory confronts lattice data

We consider the thermodynamics of three-flavor QCD in the pion-condensed phase at nonzero isospin chemical potential (μI) and vanishing temperature using chiral perturbation theory in the isospin limit. The transition from the vacuum phase to a superfluid phase with a Bose-Einstein condensate of cha...
