  We study the role of turbulence in magnetic reconnection, within the
framework of magneto-hydrodynamics, using three-dimensional direct numerical
simulations. For small turbulent intensity we find that the reconnection rate
obeys Sweet-Parker scaling. For large enough turbulent intensity reconnection
rate departs significantly from Sweet-Parker behaviour, becomes almost a
constant as a function of the Lundquist number. We further study energisation
of test-particles in the same setup. We find that the speed of the energised
particles obeys a Maxwellian distribution, whose variance also obeys
Sweet-Parker scaling for small turbulent intensity but depends weakly on the
Lundquist number for large turbulent intensity. Furthermore, the variance is
found to increase with the strength of the reconnecting magnetic field.
