DRAFT DEFINITION
High-energy collision-induced dissociation

A collision-induced dissociation process wherein the projectile ion has the translational energy higher than 1 keV. This process is usually carried out in a double-focusing mass spectrometer or in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Acquiring a sufficient internal energy for the reactant ion's dissociation is accomplished by a single collision.

Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission
This is an unofficial draft definition presented for information and comment.
