Laboratory of Theoretical Physics

The Laboratory of Theoretical Physics (LTP) is a research group of the University of Puerto Rico, sheltering theoretical physicists among the various campuses of the University, with common research interests in the areas of:

• Quantum Field Theory
• High Energy Physics
• Statistical and Plasma Physics
• Astrophysics
• Chemical Physics

Research at the LTP currently involves five scientists from the University of Puerto Rico (Río Piedras and Humaco campuses), with collaborators from several countries including Mexico, India, England and Canada. LTP is especially concerned with the progress of theoretical physics research in our institution, its impact in the education of our physics students, and its influence on the advancement of theoretical science in general, and theoretical physics in particular, in Puerto Rico.
