English term

amount off-resonance

English Science Science (general)
How would you term the mathematical quantity that describes how far a system is off resonance?

A Russian-English dictionary gives "amount off-resonance", but there seems something wrong with this term.
Might it be "resonance offset"?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

BTW, Could it be "mismatch"?
Non-ProZ.com May 23, 2005:
Dusty, Is "amount off-resonance" gramatically correct?
Ernesto de Lara May 22, 2005:
implies a lot of complexity in the discussion, so I would prefer to keep it out from an strict lingustic discussion.
Ernesto de Lara May 22, 2005:
It means that there is a shift in the frequency of the system away from resonance. This is indeed an offset, as you clearly identified but the word offset has so many asceptions that require further explanation. A change in the resonance frequency...
Non-ProZ.com May 22, 2005:
Ernesto Doesn't "resonance shift" mean that the resonance itself is shifted relative to its initial position rather than the oscillating system is shifted away from the resonance? The latter is the case I'm considering

amount off-resonance

I don't pretend to have specialist mathematical knowledge here, but a quick Google did indeed reveal this term used in a few places, most of which seem at least faintly relevant --- including the American Physical Society.

From my knowledge in electronics, I find the other 2 answers somewhat less likely, inasmuch as I suspect they have other meanings...

distance off resonance gets very few Googles, but I must admit it is the first term that originally sprang to my mind.

Certainly grammaticaly acceptable, Asker, even if it sounds a bit odd!

I don\'t believe \'mismatch\' would work here, although perhaps it has other meanings in the strictyl maths contetx that I am not aware of...
Peer comment(s):
agree Jörgen Slet : "Distance off resonance" sounds best to me, too, although "amount off-resonance" gives a few more Google hits. And I too think that the other two answers have other meanings.

Thanks, Jörgen! I agree it certainly sounds better.

Peer comment(s):
agree David Russi : Hola Ernesto, seguro que no es "shift"?

Thanks David. I promise not eat butter over the keyboard
agree Lillian van den Broeck : let's suppose it's "shiFt", yes.
