Itoh, Three Dimensional Structure of Streamer in Drift Wave Fluctuations, 2nd Asia-Pacific Conference on Plasma Physics, 2018.11, Mesoscale structures such as zonal flows and streamers play important roles in transport. The streamer can have a three-dimensional (3D) structure, by which the turbulence driven transport can be enhanced. Using the linear magnetized plasma device, the streamer structure and its mediator mode were found experimentally. The cross-sectional structures of the streamer, its mediator mode, and carrier waves were observed in detail, and it was found that they are highly comparable to those of theoretical and numerical works. Here we report the 3D structures of the streamer and its carrier waves and mediator, which are observed in a linear plasma device for the first time. Not only the cross-sectional structure but also the axial structure was observed. While the carrier drift waves, which form the streamer structure by nonlinear interaction, has an axial mode number of 1, the streamer and mediator had an axial mode number of 0. The relationship of these axial mode numbers is explained by the matching condition of the nonlinear interaction between the carrier waves and the mediator..
