✦ Synopsis

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 -1 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.

The dynamics of intense Langmuir waves in current-carrying plasmas is studied both analytically and numerically. Starting with the widely used Zakharov equations, adapted to these systems, specific features of this problem are pointed out. Further, the role of resonant particles is analyzed. By usin
