nozzle-skimmer dissociation

synonym: in-source collision-induced dissociation
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.12508
Collisionally activated dissociation that is caused by collisions in the region between the nozzle and skimmer of an atmospheric pressure ionization source such as electrospray or atmospheric pressure chemical ionization.
Note: The process can be induced by a higher than typical nozzle-skimmer voltage.
