* This article shows how a strong magnetic field destroys color in matter to produce mesons. Although this paper is about the extreme magnetic fields (10^15 T) of heavy ions in a very hot plasma, there could be relevance to what we are talking about in much colder conditions … surprisingly… this is because the orbital size of dense deuterium is reduced to a few picometers (2.3 pm) according to Holmlid. We can assume that inverse square applies, no? At the Bohr radius (53 pm), the electron of a deuteron supplies a field of 12.5 Tesla. When the orbital is reduced by a factor of 24, this would put the effective field very high but less … but certainly QCD should be affected. There is even an argument that inverse square goes to inverse cube at picometers….
