Currently the Institute has seven laboratories, each with its own specialisation - theoretical physics, high energy physics (particle physics), heavy ion physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear reactions, neutron physics, and information technology. The institute also has a division to study radiation and radiobiological research and other ad hoc experimental physics experiments. Theoretical physics is physics that employs mathematical models and abstractions rather than experimental processes. ... Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interactions between them. ...
