Nimai Mukhopadhyay (January 17, 1944 – May 15, 2000) was a professor of physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a theoretical physicist, specializing in the nuclear aspects of the weak interactions.[1][2]
During the early 1980s and into the mid-1990s, Nimai's research advanced the fields of photoproduction and electroproduction of baryon resonances involving pion and eta decay. His work included discoveries on the properties of the Phi-Meson,[3] Pion scattering,[4] the theory of eta photo production and electroproduction,[5] and approaches to pertubative results in the N-Delta Transition.[6]
