Kinetic energy release distribution
Distribution of values of translational energies in the center-of-mass reference for an ensemble of metastable ions undergoing a specific dissociation reaction.' Note: In this context, kinetic energy is interpreted as translational, rather than vibrational or rotational, kinetic energy.
