Quarks that are in a strong magnetic field will generate instantons. These instantons are quasiparticles formed from magnetism that adds mass to the quark. The mass added by magnetism can be great enough to change the flavor of the quark(s) thus disrupting the hadron that confine the quark(s). This is what happens in Holmlid's experiment where a proton or a neutron is converted to a kaon by magnetism via instanton generation. The up and down quark in changed to a strange quark through the addition of new mass carried by the magnetically induced instantons.
The metallic hydrogen produced by Holmlid is a powerful generator of magnetism. Related to the above, I have uncovered a new dot in the LENR puzzle to connect, it is called the Nelson-Barr mechanism. I will try to understand it and will post on it when I figure it out some. If anyone already understand this mechanism, please post on it. To become familiar with the Quark jargon, here is a video that uses a lot of it. http://pirsa.org/displayFlash.php?id=16100033 What the presenter is after is to show why the hadron is stable under the action of instantons, But he shows a condition of "danger" where quarks change their flavor. This danger condition is what LENR is all about. This video is where I first ran across the Nelson-Barr mechanism.
