The phrase "a mass term" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in discussions about linguistics or philosophy, particularly when referring to nouns that denote substances or aggregates rather than discrete entities.

Alternatives: "a non-count noun" or "a collective noun".

Aristotle uses '(prote) ousia' not only as a count-noun but as a mass term.
So what we're left with, if we want to add in matter, is a set of scalar fields (just like certain types of particles) and the cosmological constant (which acts just like a mass term): a beautiful analogy.
Sentences like 1, in which "good" is predicated of a mass term, constitute a central part of traditional axiology, in which philosophers have wanted to know what things (of which there can be more or less) are good.
Indeed, it is natural to think that 'reason to believe' and 'evidence' are more or less synonymous, being distinguished chiefly by the fact that the former functions grammatically as a count noun while the latter functions as a mass term.[4] To the extent that what one is justified in believing depends upon one's evidence, what is relevant is the bearing of one's total evidence.

This tuning force can also be realized by means of a supplementary mass term msup.
These last equations give a one-to-one correspondence between the QW formulation, characterized by the parameters (alpha_{j,n}), (beta_{j,n}), (theta_{j,n}), (xi_{j,n}), and the discretization of the Dirac equation with a generalized mass term (M_{j,n}).
We show that the fluid force is the superposition of an added mass term, related to the time variations of the potential, and a quadratic term related to its spatial variations.
