DRAFT DEFINITION
Multiphoton ionization ionization where the reactant ion dissociates as a result of the absorption of multiple infrared photons.

 {{DefName|
-A multiphoton process wherein the reactant ion is dissociated as a result of cumulative excitation of the reactant ion that absorbs a number of infrared photons in a short time. This term is particularly associated with [[Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry]] in which an ultrahigh vacuum inside the [[ICR]] (Penning) ion trap is free from collisional relaxation of the reactant ion's internal energy.
+[[Multiphoton ionization]] ionization where the reactant ion dissociates as a result of the absorption of multiple infrared photons.
