Abstract: SU(2) lattice gauge theory with four flavors of quarks is simulated at nonzero chemical potential $mu$ and temperature $T$ and the results are compared to the predictions of Effective Lagrangians. Simulations on $16^4$ lattices indicate that at zero $T$ the theory experiences a second order phase transition to a diquark condensate state. Several methods of analysis, including equation of state fits suggested by Chiral Perturbation Theory, suggest that mean-field scaling describes this critical point. Nonzero $T$ and $mu$ are studied on $12^{3}imes6$ lattices. For low $T$, increasing $mu$ takes the system through a line of second order phase transitions to a diquark condensed phase. Increasing $T$ at high $mu$, the system passes through a line of first order transitions from the diquark phase to the quark-gluon plasma phase. Metastability is found in the vicinity of the first order line. There is a tricritical point along this line of transitions whose position is consistent with theoretical predictions.
