The role of stochastization of magnetic field lines is analysed in fast reconnection phenomena occurring in magnetized fusion plasma during various conditions in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. The mapping technique is applied to trace the field lines of toroidally confined plasma where perturbation parameters are expressed in terms of experimental perturbation amplitudes determined from the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. It is found that fast reconnection observed during amplitude drops of the neoclassical tearing mode instability in the frequently interrupted regime can be related to stochastization. It is also shown that stochastization can explain the fast loss of confinement during the minor disruption. This demonstrates that stochastization can be regarded as a possible cause for different MHD events in the ASDEX Upgrade.
