High energy collision
DRAFT DEFINITION
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.
Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission
