It is perhaps surprising that a process which was one of the first
to be studied on an atomic scale, and a process which first
received attention over seven decades ago, continues to be the
object of diverse and intense research efforts. Such is the case
with the (seemingly) conceptually simple and familiar mechanism of
electron impact ionization of atoms, molecules, and ions. Not only
has the multi-body nature of the collision given ground to
theoretical effort only grudgingly, but also the variety and
subtlety of processes contributing to ionization have helped insure
that progress has come only with commensurate work: no pain - no
gain. Modern experimental methods have made it possible to
effectively measure and explore threshold laws, differential cross
sections, partial cross sections, inner-shell ionization, and the
ionization of unstable species such as radicals and ions. In most
instances the availability of experimental data has provided
impetus and guidance for further theoretical progress."
