Stochastic Reconnection in Partially Ionized Gas

A. Lazarian

I shall discuss the scheme of stochastic reconnection that depends on the level
of magnetic field stochasticity. In particular, I shall talk about reconnection 
that takes place in partially ionized gas. Such gas is common in interstellar 
medium and it is within such gas that star formation takes place.

I shall discuss the properties of magnetic turbulence in partially ionized gas 
and how they influence magnetic field wondering at different scales. I shall 
provide the expected reconnection rates for different phases of 
interstellar gas.
