Rosa María Pérez Vidal has a PhD in Physics from the University of Valencia (2019). His research focuses on the study of the nuclear properties of exotic nuclei through experiments with stable and radioactive ion beams, in particular, using the high-resolution gamma-ray detector AGATA. AGATA (Advanced Gamma Tracking Array), currently installed in the LNL laboratory (Italy), is a multi-detector composed of high purity germanium crystals, with electronically segmented contacts, sensitive to position and with the ability to trace the absorption of the gamma photon within the detector. During his doctorate and postdoctorate he has proposed, directed and carried out nuclear physics experiments within the AGATA collaboration and has worked in different world-renowned laboratories (such as the GSI in Germany, GANIL in France and LNL in Italy).

Currently Ramón y Cajal works as a contracted researcher, attached to the Department of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics (FAMN) of the Faculty of Physics and the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (IFIC), developing two important aspects of the AGATA project. One aspect is instrumental and is related to the study of the response functions of the AGATA multidetector, to ensure more precision in the measurements. The other aspect is scientific and focuses on experimental studies of the half-lives in nuclear structure through multi-nucleon transfer reactions using the AGATA detector coupled to the PRISMA magnetic spectrometer (tracing magnetic spectrometer), as well as other reaction mechanisms using complementary detectors.
