The behavior of instabilities, excited by the anisotropy of the distribution of ion velocities, in the case of a plasma penetrated by a helicon wave, is studied. The modification of dielectric properties of the plasma, induced by the helicon wave, influences substantially the onset of instabiiities and reduces their growth rates. Thus a dynamic stabilization for some dangerous microinstabilities, which are based on collective interaction between both plasma species, could be achieved. (auth)
