Re: ASMS Terms and Definitions Poster definition
Electron capture - Ionization process in which a molecule or atom captures a thermal energy electron typically in a CI source, and generates the molecular radical anion.

I am not sure about "thermal electrons". Are 1-5 eV electrons (commonly used to form negative ions) still thermal?
