Talk:Collision-induced dissociation
From Mass Spec Terms
Re: ASMS Terms and Definitions Poster
Collision-induced dissociation - Process whereby a mass-selected ion is excited and caused to fragment by collision with a target gas, especially in MS/MS.

Mass selection is not a necessary condition for CID - can be safely removed from the definition

The collision-induced dissociation (CID) vs. collision-activated dissociation (CAD) issue needs to be addressed. Price's 1991 paper (JASMS v.2, p 336) lists both as equivalent and does not mention mass selection in the definition.
