High energy collision
From Mass Spec Terms
| DRAFT DEFINITION |
| High energy collision |
|---|
|
High-energy collisions are typically in the keV range and occur in sector and hybrid instruments. The ion excitation is mainly electronic, corresponding to a vertical electronic transition. This energy is redistributed as vibrational energy, which can lead to simple bond cleavage. |
| Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission |
