All accelerator physics is theoretical physics.
It was once said that accelerator physics was like analyzing a modern Swiss watch by shooting it with a high power bullet1 and determining how it is made by analyzing the fragment patterns that result.

No help on source but, I believe the quote goes: "It's like smashing a clock off the wall in a hope to figure out how it works by looking at the flying pieces."
Progress of Theoretical Physics was created in 1946.
Particle Physics
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics was created in 1999.
Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics was created in 1965.
International Journal of Theoretical Physics was created in 1968.
Leptons are a type of subatomic particle, and the science that deals with them is theoretical physics.
Pure physics typically refers to the study of fundamental principles and phenomena in physics, encompassing both experimental and theoretical aspects. Theoretical physics, on the other hand, specifically focuses on developing mathematical models and theoretical explanations to understand and predict physical phenomena. So, while they overlap, theoretical physics is a distinct subfield within the broader umbrella of pure physics.
his idea was just theoretical . Newton did not sound very theoretical .
Theoretical physics is where physicists theorize about things not yet proved mainly by using equations or preexisting theories.
Because it's fun and mind-blowing. Theoretical physics predicted many things that you see in science fiction.
Theoretical physics. Quantum mechanics.
Mathematical physics uses mathematical tools to solve physical problems, while theoretical physics focuses on developing and testing theories to explain natural phenomena. Mathematical physics is more focused on the mathematical aspects of physics, while theoretical physics is more concerned with the conceptual framework and principles underlying physical theories.
