Rodrigo worked on
Higgs boson research, and collaborated with
CERN .
[2]
[6] She was the first Spanish female scientist to work at CERN,
[2] and worked on the
UA1 experiment ,
[7]
[8] and from 1994, she worked on the
Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) at the
Large Hadron Collider in CERN.
[2]
[9]
[10] She managed a team of 30 IFCA employees on the CMS project,
[1] and managed one of the teams that worked on proving the existence of the Higgs boson.
[3]
[11]
[12] In 2010, she became president of CERN's International Collaboration Council,
[1] making her the first Spanish physicist to be part of the International Collaboration Council.
