Professor Hitoko Sekiguchi of the School of Science, Tokyo Institute of Technology was selected for the 42nd Saruhashi Award of the "Meeting for a Bright Future for Female Scientists", which is given to female researchers who have made remarkable achievements in the field of natural science. rice field.It was highly praised for demonstrating the "three-body nuclear force" that forms her atomic nucleus, and the award ceremony will be held on the 29th at the Gakushi Kaikan in Kanda Nishiki-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
According to Tokyo Institute of Technology, Professor Sekiguchi is a researcher in nuclear physics.While studying the mechanism by which neutrons and protons that make up the nucleus in the center of an atom are concentrated, we experimented with the fact that a force called "three-body nuclear force" that connects these particles in three units realizes the concentration. It was proved for the first time in 3, and the paper was published in 2002.
The Saruhashi Award was sponsored by the Society for a Bright Future for Female Scientists, which was founded by Dr. Katsuko Saruhashi, a geochemist who died in 2007, and has served as the director of the Meteorological Research Institute's Geochemistry Research Department. Has been presented to female researchers under the age of 50 every year since 1981.
