Abstract

Assuming that the Q-machine magnetized plasma particles are moving on continuous and non-differentiable curves (fractal curves), a theoretical model was developed in the frame of the scale relativity theory. The model is able to explain some characteristics of the potential relaxation instability and the electrostatic ion-cyclotron instability, as well as the interaction between these two instabilities which leads to the amplitude and frequency modulation of the second instability by the first one. Experimental result are shown, which are in agreement with the theoretical model predictions.
