High energy collision
From Mass Spec Terms
| DRAFT DEFINITION |
| High energy collision |
|---|
|
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 |
| This is an unofficial draft definition presented for information and comment. |
