Thank you - you can edit the glossary entry when closing the question. If you give credits to my answer myself as well will have the possibility to do that.

I agree. I already had decided that Tracer wasn't necessary and just makes the word too long. I never could have come up with this without your help. Is there any way to change your answer so you can get credit for your help? I don't think I can choose your answer as it appears in your title field, because if I'm not mistaken, these entries get put into a glossary of some sort? Wouldn't want the answer to be misleading.

sounds good to me. Within context "tracer" is obsolete IMHO.

Or **normierte Tracerdurchgangskonzentrationsmaximum** ???

I've had some time to look into this more closely and review some articles dealing with Tracer tests (Thanks, Coqueiro)! Here's what I've come up with so far.. (Co) stands for the average injection concentration (of tracer).. (C) stands for the observed concentration (of tracer) in observation wells. They are defining normalized concentration as (C/Co). In other words: Observed concentration/Injection concentration. So the term beobachte Konzentration or Durchgangskonzentration work for the upper part of this fraction, but not for **percent capture** which is defined as "maximum (C/Co)" ..the very literal translation being maximum normalized concentration... or **maximale normierte Durchgangskonzentration** or **maximale normierte Tracerdurchgangskonzentration**. Any thoughts?
