Applied Physics Research Division

The Applied Physics Research Division (APRD) conducts research in the field of materials science.

One of the main directions of the Division is the study of radiation effects—particularly electron beam irradiation—on the physical, optical, and biological properties of materials. Research is carried out on wide band-gap materials and their applications, including scintillation, dosimetry, and luminescent tubes.

Experimental work is performed using modern equipment, including an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence analyzer, the LUMEN system, vibrating wire technology setups, and vacuum apparatus.

The scientific results of the Division are regularly published in high-impact international peer-reviewed journals.

Experimental Physics Division

AANL Experimental Physics Division (EPD) has a long lasting tradition of research in the field of high energy experimental physics in a wide range of topics since the operation of Yerevan electron synchrotron (ARUS) with energy of up to 6 GeV in 1967
Matinyan Center for Theoretical Physics

Theoretical physics has been and remains one of the most developed natural sciences in Armenia. During the Soviet years Division for Theoretical Physics of Yerevan Physics Institute was the center of theoretical physics in Armenia leaded by its founder long-time head, professor Sergey Matinyan.
Center for Cosmology and Astrophysics

AANL Cosmology and Astrophysics Center conducts research dedicated to non-linear effects in cosmology, large-scale composition of the universe, chaotic dynamics of gravitational systems, study of the behavior of dynamic systems, data processing with machine learning algorithms.
Division for Quantum Technologies

The AANL Division for Quantum Technologies was established in 2022. The division members are engaged in theoretical calculations of quantum technologies. Their research findings are published in popular scientific journals.
Cosmic Ray Division

The Cosmic Ray Division (CRD), together with its unique high-mountain scientific stations, collaborates with many international organizations, and is the founder of the European SEVAN (Space Environment Viewing and Analysis Network) detector network.
Computational Physics and IT Division

Computational Physics and Information Technologies Division functions in two main directions: computational physics and data analysis (as scientific activity), development and maintenance of computing and network resources (as software and technical activity).
Isotopes Research and Production Division

The Isotopes Research and Production Department was established in 2010. The department is engaged with creation and development of technologies to produce radioactive isotopes for medical purposes and with handling of production process itself.
