School of Physics and Astronomy

Research divisions and groups

The research in the School is organised into four Divisions that bring together areas of physics with common interests and research culture. Within the Divisions, there are Research Groups that work on specific aspects of physics, across the whole range of the subject.

Accelerator, Nuclear and Particle Physics Division

The ANPP division incorporates the following groups:

Condensed Matter, Atomic and Biological Physics Division

The Division of Condensed Matter, Atomic and Biological Physics comprises experimental groups studying emerging phenomena in complex systems of sizes ranging from atomic to macroscopic.

Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics

Our research is described in the JBCA's research webpage. There are four main groups:

Theoretical Physics Division

The members of the Theoretical Physics Division are actively engaged in research over a wide range of theoretical physics. In many areas, Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Biological Physics, they are based in the same research group as their experimental colleagues and work closely with them.
