里贾纳大学物理系提供研究生课程，获得实验和理论亚原子物理学的理学硕士学位和博士学位，特别着重于：高能物理，弱相互作用和中微子物理学，强子QCD物理学。教职员工和研究生在本地以及加拿大，美国，欧洲和日本其他地方的研究机构中进行研究。在令人鼓舞和富有成效的环境中提供研究生指导。该部门是位于温哥华的TRIUMF亚原子物理实验室的准成员，并且与美国弗吉尼亚州纽波特纽斯的杰斐逊实验室有着密切的联系。我们的部门还是欧洲核子研究组织大型强子对撞机（LHC）的国际ATLAS合作的机构成员，也是粒子物理研究所和加拿大核物理
Physics spans from zero to infinity in space, time and energy. It helps us to understand the mechanisms that make the universe work. Our graduate students participate in cutting-edge experiments and theoretical research and use facilities in Canada (TRIUMF), the United States (Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Electron-Ion Collider in Brookhaven National Laboratory), Europe (CERN) and Japan (Super-Kamiokande). Our department is also an institutional member of both the Institute of Particle Physics and the Canadian Institute of Nuclear Physics.<br><br>Subatomic physics tackles the most fundamental scientific questions such as the beginning and evolution of the Universe, the nature of matter, energy and their interactions, the nature of space and time, and the fundamental laws governing the dynamics of the smallest building blocks of nature. Understanding nuclear processes has a deep impact on all nuclear technologies, such as nuclear power, isotopes for medical purposes, nuclear imaging and much more.
