Abstract: Dynamics of the plasma in open magnetic traps with an electron beam, in particular, in a GOL-3 trap, is studied. The possibility of the formation of a resonant surface of the magnetic field and the development of helical instability caused by the presence of this surface is studied numerically.

Keywords: plasma, tearing instability, reconnection resonant surface.
