QCD sum rules at finite quark chemical potential and zero temperature

In this article we explore the effect of a quark chemical potential μ at zero temperature in the implementation of in-medium effects in Wilson coefficients and the perturbative sector in QCD sum rules. For this purpose, we explore the axial, axial-pseudoscalar and pseudoscalar current correlators using finite energy sum rules involving charged π and a₁ mesons. The inclusion of non-normal ordered condensates with μ effects in the operator mixing is considered. As a result, we confirm that Wilson coefficients must be considered in-vacuum to avoid the appearance of divergences when μ reaches the quark mass. Also, the contribution of the operator mixing with chemical potential dependence cancels all the explicit μ contribution of the perturbative sector, aligned with the so-called "silver blaze problem". Finally, we find an abrupt transition when μ=√s₀/2, being s₀ the hadronic continuum threshold. In our findings, we consider the full mass dependence in the isospin symmetric mass approximation without radiative corrections.
