| Abstract: | Experimental results are presented on the nonlinear effects related to the simultaneous excitation of three low‐frequency instabilities in the magnetized plasma column of a Q‐machine, namely the potential relaxation instability, the electrostatic ion‐cyclotron instability and the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability. The influence of electron drift and magnetic field intensity on appearance, dynamics and mutual interaction of these instabilities was investigated (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
