Orange Book Entry
An electrically charged product of reaction of a particular parent (precursor) ion. In general such ions have a direct relationship with a particular precursor ion and may relate to a unique state of the precursor ion. The reaction need not involve fragmentation, but could, for example involve a change in the number of charges carried. Thus a fragment ion is a daughter ion but not all daughter ions are fragment ions.
