While I'll be the first to admit that the stub I threw together needs amplification, it cannot be rejected as a "neologism". It's an obscure term used in spectroscopy for decades. Besides Mitchell and Salvaggio 2003, a quick Google Books search yields instances dating back to the mid-twentieth century. I first ran across the term during a search of the Canadian National Defence catalog of publications.
Maybe it would work better as a small section in the Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation article ? Urhixidur (talk) 01:51, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I got lazy and should have enclosed the extract as a quote. The reference is nevertheless useful (and this is the only mention of the Hohlraum effect in Wikipedia), so I've put it back in with a short summary instead. Urhixidur (talk) 13:36, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking the time to do that. — Diannaa (talk) 20:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
