DRAFT DEFINITION |
Collisional excitation |
---|
The reaction of an ion with a neutral species in which the translational energy of the collision is converted into internal energy of the ion. |
Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission |
This is an unofficial draft definition presented for information and comment. |
See additional comments on the Collisional excitation discussion page (archive of discussion between 2004 and 2006) |
Orange Book Entry
An ion/neutral species process wherein there is an increase in the reactant ion?????????????????????????s internal energy at the expense of the translational energy of either (or both) of the reactant species.
