Scientific paper
I will review the current status of our understanding of magnetic reconnection, with a specific emphasis on the problem of onset of fast reconnection, i.e., on the transition between the slow resistive-MHD regime in collisional plasmas to the fast collisionless regime. I will formulate the condition for this transition and explain its critical role in various magnetically self-organized systems. As my main example, I will focus on solar coronal heating and will demonstrate how the highly intermittent nature of reconnection results in a dynamic self-regulation of this process to maintain the corona at about marginal collisionality.
