In order to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the Institute of Cosmos Sciences releases each day of this week one piece on one of its most renowned researchers.

Today we look into Àngels Ramos research:

Position: Full Professor

Field: Nuclear and Hadron Physics

Research: Àngels Ramos is an international reputated and established researcher on strange nuclear physics (the study of the interactions of subatomic particles containing the strange quark and nuclei) where she introduced new disintegration modes and mechanisms.

She was involved in several pioneer studies that demonstrated that the Λ (1405) baryon (a subatomic particle commonly thought as made up of three quarks, as is the case of protons and neutrons) is better described by a superposition of bound hadron-hadron pairs.
