Through the Compton effect from the atom ejected electron.

Air KERMA (Kinetic Energy Released per unit MAss of air) measures the amount of radiation energy in air, unit is J/kg. This include the initial kinetic energy of the primary ionizing particles such as photoelectrons, Compton electrons, positron//negatron pairs from photon radiation, and scattered nuclei from fast neutrons, when for example air is irradiated by an x-ray beam. J/kg (gray) is also the unit of the radiation quantity 'Absorbed Dose'.

The Auger electron is emitted caused by the Auger effect. The kinetic energy of the Auger electron depends on the type of atom and the chemical environment. The energy of the Auger electron is in the range between 280 eV (electron volt) and 2100 eV. These different energy levels are utilized for chemical analysis.

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.
