The continuum of energies transferred to electrons by Compton scattering is called the Compton continuum. It reflects also the maximum energy which a photon can give to the Compton electron depending on a maximum scattering angle and it's initially energy.

See also Compton Effect.

Compton scattering is the deflection of gamma- and x-ray photons by electrons.
