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]
