Abstract

AbstractThe paper reviews recent experimental results from GOL-3. Currently efforts are focused on further development of a physical database for multiple-mirror confinement systems and also on an upgrade of plasma heating systems of GOL-3 device.In general, current GOL-3 parameters demonstrate good prospects of a multiple-mirror trap as a fusion reactor.
