High energy collision
DRAFT DEFINITION
High Energy Collisions are in the keV range and occur in sector, TOF-TOF and hybrid instruments. The ion excitation is mainly electronic and corresponds to a vertical electronic transition. Energy redistribution to vibrational energy can lead to simple bond cleavage.
Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission

-Collisions that are typically in the keV range and occur in sector, ToF-ToF and hybrid instruments.  The ion excitation is mainly electronic, corresponding to a vertical electronic transition.  This energy is redistributed as vibrational energy, and this can lead to simple bond cleavage.
