Department of Theoretical Physics

Department of Theoretical Physics (TH), was founded in 1952 under the name "Group of Theoretical Studies" located in Copenhagen, under the guidance of Niels Bohr. It was then moved to Geneva together with the CERN experimental groups in 1957. In 2005, it was incorporated into the CERN Physics Department as the "Theory Unit". Since 2016 it once again became an independent department, the "Theoretical Physics Department".
