Physics covers a wide range of phenomena, from the smallest sub-atomic particles, to the largest galaxies. Included in this are the most fundamental objects from which all other things are composed of. In addition to addressing fundamental concepts, physics affects the way we view the world, and playing and important role in other fields of science, not least chemistry or biology.

The culture of physics has a higher degree of separation between theory and experiment than many other sciences. Theorists seek to develop mathematical models that both agree with existing experiments and successfully predict future results, while experimentalists devise and perform experiments to test theoretical predictions and explore new phenomena. To address larger questions, theorists and experimentalists often work together with a common goal, as is the case at large facilities, e.g. CERN. Some physicists work successfully in both disciplines or in non-traditional multi-disciplinary fields of science.

Our research and our department are also represented both in a number of different university-based centers, such as KBC, IceLab, and UMIT, and in national facilities/groupings. We have access to a variety of experimental techniques at various core facilities, technology platforms and user groups at KBC and through other collaborations.
