"Ionization cross section" in the field mass spectrometry commonly refers to electron ionization, not to photo-ionization. Electron ionization and Photoionization should therefore be defined separately if necessary.
Yasuhide's Comment
This is a measure of the probability that a given ionization process will occur when an atom or molecule interacts with a photon. (not applicable to other ionization methods?)
