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. | The collision-induced dissociation (CID) vs. collision-activated dissociation (CAD) issue needs to be addressed.

{{Sugdef|Collision-Induced Dissociation | |||
|An ion/neutral process wherein the (fast) projectile ions dissociate as a result of interaction with a target gaseous species. Dissociation is brought about by conversion of the translational energy of part of the ion, during the collision, to internal energy in the ion. | |||
The term [[collisional-activated dissociation]] (or decomposition), abbreviated [[CAD]], is also used. | |||
