The theoretical physics group was initiated at PRL soon after its establishment. Starting with activities in Nuclear Physics, it diversified into plasma physics and complex systems. In the mid-80s, the group expanded its theoretical high energy physi
e group expanded its theoretical high energy physics activities, and in the mid-90s, the astroparticle group was started. During the last decade, major scientific areas have been explored namely collider physics, neutrino and flavour physics, astroparticle physics and cosmology, strong interaction physics, complex systems, high Tc superconductivity, and atomic physics.
The research pursued in the division can be broadly categorized into the following themes and members pursuing research activities: (1) Collider Physics, Neutrino Physics, Flavour Physics and Beyond Standard Model, (2) Quantum Chromodynamics, Quark-Gluon Plasma, Nuclear Physics, (3) Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology, (4) Unconventional superconductivity, Electronic transport theories, itinerant magnetism, Bose Condensation, strongly correlated systems, and topological materials.
