| DRAFT DEFINITION |
| Laser induced dissociation |

An ion/neutral process wherein the (fast) projectile ions dissociated as a result of interaction with a laser beam. Dissociation is brought about by conversion of the translational energy, during the collision, of part of the ion to internal energy in 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. |
