DRAFT DEFINITION
Higher-energy C-trap dissociation (HCD)
Higher-energy C-trap dissociation

Higher-energy collisional dissociation

Collision induced dissociation in an Orbitrap mass spectrometer in a collision cell external to the Kingdon trap.

Note: Higher-energy C-trap dissociation typically uses low-energy collision-induced dissociation (collision energy less than 1000 eV).
