Abstract: The confinement of quarks in hadrons occurs due to formation of QCD string. At large separation between the quarks the QCD string breaks into pieces due to light quark-antiquark pair creation. We argue that there exist a critical background magnetic field e B ~ 16 m_pi^2, above which the string breaking is impossible in the transverse directions with respect to the axis of the magnetic field. Thus, at strong enough magnetic field a new, asymmetrically confining phase may form. The effect - which can potentially be tested at LHC/ALICE experiment - leads to abundance of u-quark rich hadrons and to excess of radially excited mesons in the noncentral heavy-ion collisions compared to the central ones.
