Main results of researches on plasma heating and confinement of dense plasma in the multimirror trap GOL-3 are presented.Recently magnetic system of the facility was converted into completely multimirror one. This results in further improvement of energy confinement time of plasma with ion temperature {approx}1 keV. Collective plasma heating by {approx}120 kJ ({approx}8 {omega}s) relativistic electron beam results in T{sub e} {approx} 2 keV at {approx}10{sup 21} m{sup -3} density. High T{sub e} exists for {approx}10 {mu}s. To this time T{sub i} reaches {approx}2 keV. Ion temperature keeps at the high level during {approx}1 ms. The energy confinement time sufficiently increases and a value of n{tau}{sub E} = (1.5-3).10{sup 18} m{sup -3}s.
