Abstract
We study static magnetic susceptibility chi(T,mu) in SU(2) lattice gauge theory with N-f = 2 light flavours of dynamical fermions at finite chemical potential mu. Using linear response theory we find that SU(2) gauge theory exhibits paramagnetic behavior in both the high-temperature deconfined regime and the low-temperature confining regime. Paramagnetic response becomes stronger at higher temperatures and larger values of the chemical potential. For our range of temperatures 0.727 <= T/ T-c <= 2.67, the first coefficient of the expansion of chi (T, mu) in even powers of mu/T around mu = 0 is close to that of free quarks and lies in the range (2,..., 5) center dot 10(-3). The strongest paramagnetic response is found in the diquark condensation phase at mu > m pi/2.
