Abstract: | The first experiments measuring the density of a compressed deuterium and tritium mixture in microtargets of indirect irradiation
(x-ray targets) were performed at the Iskra-5 facility. The density was determined according to the broadening of the lines
of hydrogen-and helium-like argon added to the DT gas as a diagnostics material. A series of three experiments was performed
with x-ray targets in which the central capsule filled with a DT + Ar mixture over a range of shell thicknesses. In two of
the experiments, argon emission spectra were recorded and the density of the compressed gas was determined. For a microtarget
approximately 280 μm in diameter with a wall approximately 7 μm thick, an analysis of the experimental results yielded an estimated density in the compressed gas of ∼1 g/cm3. Gas-dynamic calculations using the SNDA (spectral nonequilibrium diffusion with absorption) program show that argon emission
takes place just after reaching maximum temperature, but much sooner than maximum compression. The results of a calculation
for an experiment with low relative Ar concentration are in overall agreement with the experimental data. Additional investigations
are needed to interpret experiments at a relatively high concentration.
