Refers to @I03183@ of a molecule or atom by electron collision or photon absorption. In @M03746@ it has often been reported as the voltage which corresponds to the minimum energy of the electrons in the ionizing beam necessary for the production of a given fragment ion. In @P04620@ it is the minimum energy of the quantum of light which produces @I03183@ of the absorbing molecule.
