DRAFT DEFINITION
Low-energy collision-induced dissociation

A collision-induced dissociation process wherein the precursor ion has the translational energy lower than approximately 1000 eV. This process typically requires multiple collisions and the collisional excitation is cumulative.

Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission
