We have performed multipoint measurements with segmented electrodes and a microwave interferometer in the linear plasma device NAGDIS-II, in order to reveal cross-field motion and axial localization of the enhanced radial transport in the detached plasma. By changing the neutral pressure successively and applying several statistical analysis techniques, it was clarified that there is axially localized ion flux broadening accompanying an enhanced plasma ejection from the center with radially elongated spiraling structure. The spiraling plasma ejection accompanies the m = 0 mode drop near the center with the similar time scale. Further, such behavior composed of f > 1 kHz fluctuations is modulated by several-hundred-hertz fluctuation with m = 0. This cross-field transport causes non-negligible effect for the reduction of the ion flux peak in the detached plasma.
