DESCRIPTION:Prof. Giovanni Lapenta\nKU Leuven\, B      \nTwo process
 es are most prominent in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas: reconnectio
 n and turbulence. Reconnection can convert magnetic energy to particle ene
 rgy. Turbulence can improve the efficiency of reconnection in doing so. Tu
 rbulence can increase the rate of reconnection and can promote the onset o
 f reconnection in multiple locations. But can reconnection itself promote 
 turbulence? And would turbulence produced by reconnection then feedback on
  the reconnection that caused it? We try to address these questions presen
 ting our recent research on turbulence induced by reconnection\, focusing 
 on:\n\n-    inflow\n-    separatrices\n-    central diffusion reg
 ion\n-    outflow from reconnection (reconnection fronts\, reconnection
  jet)\n\n\nReference: Lapenta\, G.\, Markidis\, S.\, Goldman\, M. V.\, & N
