-A technique associated with [[Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry]] to carry out ion/neutral reactions such as [[low-energy collision-induced dissociation]]. A radio-frequency electric field of slightly off-resonance to the [[cyclotron frequency]] of the [[reactant ion]] cyclically accelerates and decelerates the [[reactant ion]] that is confined in the  [[Penning ion trap]]. The ion's orbit does not exceed the dimensions of ion trap while the ion undergoes an ion/neutral species process that produces a high average translational energy for an extended time.
+Procedure associated with [[Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry]] to undertake ion/neutral reactions such as low-energy collision-induced dissociation. A radio-frequency electric field, slightly off-resonance with respect to the cyclotron frequency of the reactant ion, cyclically accelerates and decelerates the reactant ion that is confined in the Penning ion trap. As a consequence the orbit does not exceed the dimensions of the ion trap but maintains a high average translational energy for an extended time that activates an ion/neutral species process
