Leo James Rainwater

(born December 9, 1917 - died May 31, 1986) American physicist and Nobel laureate in physics. In 1939, he received his undergraduate degree in physics from Cal Tech; and then entered graduate school at Columbia University, where his teachers included Enrico Fermi and Edward Teller. During World War II, James Rainwater worked on the Manhattan Project, doing pulsed neutron spectroscopy with the Columbia cyclotron; he received his doctorate in physics from Columbia after his thesis was de-classified in 1946. In 1949, James Rainwater started studying the atomic nucleus. At the time there were two theoretical models of the nucleus; Rainwater unified the two models, and Danish physicists Ben Mottelson and Aage N. Bohr confirmed Rainwater's theory in 1953. For this, the trio shared the 1975 Nobel Prize for physics. Rainwater became a professor at Columbia, serving from 1952 until his retirement in 1986.

The name "James" is the English equivalent of Jacob; the first Jacob in the Bible was the patriarch of the 12 tribes of Israel. "James" is consistently among the most popular names for boys in the U.S.

Plural form of James: According to the Carnegie Mellon Style Guide, "Form plurals of family names that end in 's' by adding 'es.'  Right: The Jameses live in Edgewood."  See also StackExchange.com.
