-High Energy Collisions are in the keV range and occur in [[Sector Mass Spectrometer|sector]], [[TOF-TOF]] and [[Hybrid Mass Spectrometer|hybrid instrument]]s.  The ion excitation is mainly electronic and corresponds to a vertical electronic transition. Energy redistribution to vibrational energy can lead to simple bond cleavage.
