A polyethylene piston 10 ..mu.. thick, accelerated with the aid of a relativistic-electron beam to (5--7) x 10/sup 6/ cm/sec, compressed a deuterium plasma in a lead cone by a factor 1000 to a density 10/sup 22/ cm/sup -3/ and heated it to a temperature 1 keV. In accordance with the calculations, (1--3) x 10/sup 6/ thermonuclear neutrons were registered per pulse.
