Hello, dear all. Currently I'm studying MSc in physics hoping to do PhD soon after my graduation. I did my bachelor in Quantum Electrodynamics, and before starting my MSc in physics, I was working as a research assistant in experimental HEP lab, and I thought I wanted to explore other subfields in physics because I liked QFT theory more than experimental HEP at least I thought at the moment.
So my dislike of experimental HEP led me to explore other subfields of physics that are more practical etc. You see there was some escapist mentality. So finding another subfield that reignite my interest in physics was my sole goal. So I'm doing my master's as an explorative instrument to taste different fields, and by doing so I've taken many subfield subjects from biophysics, astrophysics, particle physics, condensed matter and so on. And I thought something related space is fruitful because of recent trends of Mars missions etc.
So I have been aimlessly wandering around till I decided to write my thesis on space plasma physics. This field is not that bad, but right after choosing my thesis I've finally accepted and embraced that I like the fundamental physics and I can spend rest of my life on particle physics/cosmology.
So my question is: is it possible/realistic for me to go back to PhD QFT/Particle physics, even experimental HEP from space plasma physics MSc?
