Scientific paper

Measurements of electric fields in solar flares using the Stark effect exhibited by neutral helium atoms are reported. Electric field strengths as high as 700 V/cm are observed. Measurements of electron densities indicate that the electric fields originate from nonthermal plasma waves. Analysis of the plasma wave fields coupled with plasma density and temperature measurements indicate that the lower hybrid drift instability may be present in the flaring region.
