Preferred Label : ionizing collision;
Detailed label : ionizing collision in mass spectrometry;
IUPAC definition : An ion/neutral species interaction in which an electron or electrons are stripped
from the ion and/or the neutral species in the collision. Generally, this term has
come to be used to describe collisions of fast-moving ions with a neutral species
in which the neutral species is ionized with no change in the number of charges carried
by the ion. Care should be taken when this term is used to emphasize if charge stripping
of the ion has taken place.;
