amount off-resonance

English translation: amount off-resonance

English term or phrase: amount off-resonance
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.

Selected answer:amount off-resonance
Explanation:
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...

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.
