Collision-induced dissociation
From Mass Spec Terms
| DRAFT DEFINITION |
| Collision-induced dissociation |
|---|
|
An ion/neutral species interaction wherein the projectile ion is dissociated as a result of interaction with the neutral collision partner. This is brought about by conversion of part of the translational energy of the ion to internal energy in the ion during collision. |
| Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission |

Orange Book Entry
An ion/neutral species interaction wherein the projectile ion is dissociated as a result of interaction with a target neutral species. This is brought about by conversion of part of the translation energy of the ion to internal energy in the ion during collision.
