Abstract

This paper describes dynamic and thermodynamic (at T=0T=0) properties of mesons in asymmetric matter in the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory. We consider a mesonic system at vanishing temperature with nonzero isospin chemical potential and strangeness chemical potential and we study their effect on the phase diagram. We also study meson masses and mixing in the resulting normal phase, pion condensation phase and kaon condensation phase. We find differences with previous papers regarding meson masses and mixing in the condensed phases; the results presented here are supported by theory group analysis and direct calculations. Pressure, density and equation of state of the system at T=0T=0 and nonzero μI\mu_I are calculated, finding remarkable agreement with analogue studies performed by lattice calculations.
