Popis: We present a method to compute the responses of meson screening masses to the chemical potential by Taylor expanding the correlator using lattice QCD simulation. We start by comparing the free theory lattice results with the analytical expression. Then, using symmetry arguments, we obtain an expression for the correlator in a series of the chemical potential at finite temperature. Using this, we obtain the lowest order correction to the screening mass at a finite chemical potential for temperatures around 2.5 GeV. Our lattice analysis is limited to isoscalar chemical potential for the pseudoscalar channel. The calculations were performed using (2+1)-flavors of the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ/tree) action, with the ratio of the strange quark mass to the light quark mass $m_s/m_\ell=20$ corresponding to pion masses of 160 MeV.
