Spanish term or phrase: barriga
"Si, un proceso de degradation esta ocurriendo simultáneamente a la modificación química, en estos termogramas SSA se observan que estos diferentes picos de fusión corresponden tambien a la contribución de los diversos espesores lamelares formados como consecuencia de la heterogeneidad en peso molecular que presenta la PCL-OX (en relación a su condición inicial de PCL pura). Esto implica que las especies lamelares que se presentaban al principio en el polímero virgen vayan desapareciendo para dar paso a aquellas especies formadas por especies de menor peso molecular, y de allí que se vea de manera algo mas pronunciada una **barriga** ancha de fusion (entre 10-45ºC) de las especies lamelares mas pequenas y/o imperfectas. "

Una barriga es un pico ancho. No recuerdo si existe un equivalente en inglés. Lo he visto en espectrosopía así como en este caso, en análisis térmico

agree  Sarah FRUTOS BAMBERRY: a bulge or a lump, i think this is the most accurate, a peak gives the impression of being pointed, a wide bump is the right idea but sounds a little clumsy - bulge however is just right.
