  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007003",
  "term": "Mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mass spectrometry technique where ions are first mass-selected and then their kinetic energy distribution is analyzed after fragmentation in a field-free region. This method provides information about the fragmentation pathways and the energetics of unimolecular dissociation. It is often performed using a sector mass spectrometer configuration.",
