14. We note in this context that in our formalism we calculate the counting ionization cross-section for a molecule (for a definition see Ref. [2]), i.e. the sum of all partial ionization cross-sections involving the removal of a single electron from the parent molecule. In the case of most molecules the counting ionization cross-section is equal to the total ionization cross-section because cross-sections for multiple ionization are generally rather small (see Ref. [2]).
