Recent results of the experiments at GOL-3 facility are presented. Plasma with a density of 10¹⁴…10¹⁶ cm⁻³ is confined in a 12-meter-long solenoid, which comprises 55 corrugation cells with mirror ratio Bmax/Bmin=4.8/3.2 T. The plasma is heated up to 2…4 keV temperature by a high power relativis...
