Astroparticle and Elementary Particle Physics

Our research is focused on understanding the most fundamental particles and forces of nature, and on how these building blocks have shaped the history and structure of the cosmos.

Atomic Physics

In atomic physics we performs fundamental experimental and theoretical research on inherent properties of atomic systems and on atomic collision processes in the broad sense.

Instrumentation and Nuclear Physics

Stockholm University is engaged in different instrumentation research projects in the areas of accelerator physics, detectors for nuclear and particle physics, and systems for control and data acquisition.

Chemical Physics

The Division of Chemical Physics was formed in the Autumn of 2011 by merging of the previous Molecular Physics and part of the Quantum Chemistry divisions. It has about 50 members including faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, diploma workers, and guest researchers.

Condensed Matter and Quantum Optics

The research of Condensed Matter and Quantum Optics is both experimental and theoretical.

Cosmology, Particle Astrophysics and Strings

The University conducts a wide range of research in theoretical and experimental astroparticle physics and cosmology. Supernovae and gravitational lenses are used for distance measurements aimed at a better understanding of dark matter and dark energy.

Medical Radiation Physics

Medical Radiation Physics is a vast and complex translational research topic that deals with radiation physics applied to medicine and biology for medical radiation imaging and radiation therapy.
