http://goldbook.iupac.org/E01999.html This is the term used to describe ionization of any species by electrons. The process may, for example, be written: for atoms or molecules: M + e --> M+. + 2e for radicals: M. + e --> M+ + 2e The term 'electron impact' should not be used. See: radical ion for a note concerning the symbolic representation of radical ions; See also: photoionization Source: PAC, 1991, 63, 1541 (Recommendations for nomenclature and symbolism for mass spectroscopy (including an appendix of terms used in vacuum technology).
