Thanks for your reply Sveinn. I was wondering if electron spin ordering and charge ordering effects were important in Rydberg matter formation or if the Rydberg matter state itself was affected in some way and if the external field could disrupt this process. If so then may be having the Rydberg matter form in a null field perhaps if the heater coil is counter wound or inside the center of some kind of quadropole may have some advantage. But if I understand right your answer the flux of Rydberg atoms is more important and the Rydberg matter would form regardless of the external magnetic field anyway. Is this correct?
[SO] I expect only secondary effects of magnetic field, You can not from Rydberg matter first without forming a Rydberg atom, Hydrogen atom in 1s state is not going to link up into a Rydberg matter cluster.
if electron charge and spin order is important in Rydberg matter this link might be interesting:

It is about charge and spin order States in certain crystals (not Rydberg matter) and indicates they found some common behaviour with the formation of charge and spin ordered States in correlated electrons that depended on pressure. I wonder if this could also be relevant to Rydberg matter formation?
[SO] This paper is very nice paper about charge density waves and how they form as due interaction of the electrons or electron correlations, Rydberg matter is much more correlated and Ultra dense hydrogen can only exist due to this correlation that I suspect leeds to entanglement.
Once the Rydberg matter has formed does it have a certain life time or would it degenreate into free Hydrogen after a certain time or under certain thermal or pressure conditions?
[SO] If Rydberg matter is not disturbed in any way by foreign gas species it should live forever. Holmlid has suggested that Rydberg matter in space is just something that we call Dark matter the missing material mass in the Universe, not a bad idea.
Could Rydberg Matter degenerate by external influence of a magnetic field? Or could an external magnetic field once the Rydberg matteris already formed be of benefit to UDD production or LENR?
[SO] I don´t think so, formation I don´t see a mechanism other than surface is needed and Ni is magnetic, Pd has high magnetic susceptibility (magnetic fluctuations).
Does the Rydberg matter only form in certain temperature and pressure ranges?
[SO] Rydberg atom is a state were electron can be excited up 13.6 eV before it is a free electron. Converting that to temperature results in 13.6/0.025*300 ~ 5000K temperature.
This simple argument indicates that 2000K is Ok for Rydberg matter.
Could SSM depend on the time that the Rydberg matter or UDD is present or the Rydberg matter in in a particular coherent charge or spin order state?
