The expansion with a strictly radial magnetic field leads to a decrease of the ratio between the proton perpendicular and parallel temperatures as well as to an increase of the ratio between the beam-core differential velocity and the local Alfven velocity creating a free energy for many different instabilities. The system is indeed most of the time marginally stable with respect to the parallel magnetosonic, oblique Alfven, proton cyclotron and parallel fire hose instabilities which determine the system evolution counteracting some effects of the expansion and interacting with each other. Nonlinear evolution of these instabilities leads to large modifications of the proton velocity distribution function. The beam and core protons are slowed with respect to each other and heated, and at later stages of the evolution the two populations are not clearly distinguishable.
