Italian term or phrase: elettrone interessato da un parziale trasferimento di energia
Sio descrive l'effetto Compton: si ha quando il trasferimento di energia dal fotone all’elettrone non è completo ed ha per risultante un fotone degradato in energia e deflesso dalla direzione iniziale, ed un elettrone interessato dal parziale trasferimento di energia.

An electron subjected to a partial transfer of energy


Explanation:
This is how I would put it... and more or less what I have seen in my own research.

Abstract: D1.00052 : ** Partial and Complete Transfer of Energy ** in Bremsstrahlung Must Include Spin and Vibrational Kinetic Energies

Even though here the context if Bremsstrahlung scattering, the same applies to Compton scattering as well.

--------------------------------------------------

he interaction between electrons and high energy photons results in the ** electron being given part of the energy ** (making it recoil), and a photon containing the remaining energy being emitted in a different direction from the original, so that the overall momentum of the system is conserved. If the photon still has enough energy left, the process may be repeated.
Compton scattering occurs in all materials and predominantly with photons of medium energy, i.e. about 0.5 to 3.5 MeV. It is also observed that high-energy photons (photons of visible light or higher frequency, for example) have sufficient energy to even eject the bound electrons from the atom (Photoelectric effect).
