Description
In order to study the fate of mesons in thermal QCD at finite baryon chemical potential, we consider light mesonic correlation functions using the Taylor expansion to O$\Bigl( (\mu/T)^2 \Bigr)$, in both the hadronic and quark-gluon plasma phases. We use the FASTSUM anisotropic fixed-scale lattices with N$_f$=2+1 flavors of Wilson fermions. We find that mesonic correlators are sensitive to finite-density corrections and that the second-order terms notice the chiral crossover in the vector and axial-vector channels.
