Do we want to distinguish between so-called "self-CI" which can occur at much lower pressures, CI in an ion trap, which is also done at much lower pressures, but much longer residence times, and "normal" CI? Also, I'd say the definition, as written, even if applied only to "normal" CI is ambiguous, in that the pressure refers to the "reagent" gas, not the analyte pressure, which should be orders of magnitude lower.

I suggest that "cationization" be defined. I mean the addition of a cation (from a metal in general) is added to a neutral molecule.(It follows that "anionization" should be invented for the adduct formation with an anion.) I think that this process is not covered by the definition of chemical ionization.
