29. We note in this context that both the DM formalism and the BEB formalism calculate the counting ionization cross section for a molecule (for a definition see [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 [2]).
