Charged particle motion in reconnecting current sheets (CS) can be both regular and chaotic, depending on the values of transverse (perpendicular to the CS plane) and longitudinal (parallel to the electric field inside the CS) components of the magnetic field. The non-zero transverse field gives rise to chaos, whereas a sufficiently large longitudinal field tends to stabilize the motion. The longitudinal field change in time may be the cause of different regimes of electron acceleration in solar flares and magnetospheric substorms.
