In case it is interesting I have found a couple of interesting papers on pionic deuterium.
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/econf/C070910/PDF/290.pdf http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joao_Veloso2/publication/226690552_Pionic_Deuterium/links/0fcfd509900d147bc6000000.pdf?inViewer=true&pdfJsDownload=true&disableCoverPage=true&origin=publication_detail The papers are quite technical and apparently Pionic Deuterium has been studied quite extensively. There are some interesting points about pion production and absorption with nuclei and nucleon pairs, ground state s orbital interaction with the nucleus, x-Ray production and experimental set up. The second paper is much more detailed. It seems to me if we see effects in the experiments described in these papers, if pions are indeed generated then we might even be more likely to see something in ultra dense material. I wonder what kinds of energies would be yielded in these kind of reactions. If any was produced we would need to balance this against those the energy required for pion production. But perhaps the excess energy for pion production comes from muon catalysed fusion and / or external forces and resonance effects.
