The dielectronic satellite spectral lines, on the long-wavelength side of the hydrogenic Si XIV Lyman-..cap alpha.. line, have been observed in the space-resolved spectra from laser-imploded glass microballoons. In the electron density range 1 x 10/sup 22/ to 2 x 10/sup 23/ cm/sup -3/, the intensities of the Si XIII 2s2p /sup 3/P--1s2s /sup 3/S and 2p/sup 2/ /sup 3/P--1s2p /sup 3/P satellite lines increase with density in agreement with numerical modeling. These satellite lines are a promising density diagnostic for the imploded glass plasma.
