Kazem Azizi

Email: kazizi@dogus.edu.tr

Kazem Azizi’s research spans a broad range of particle physics, with a particular focus on the phenomenology of hadron physics and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Although primarily a phenomenological and theoretical physicist, he actively collaborates with major international projects and experiments, including FCC, PANDA, LHCb, Belle, D0, CDF, BESIII, and ALICE. He leads a research group of more than 50 members—faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students from various universities—who work on diverse aspects of particle phenomenology and data analysis across multiple subgroups. Their predictions regarding the existence of new hadronic states or the parameters of well-established ones are often later confirmed by major experiments. In several cases, his group has been among the first to determine the physical properties of newly discovered resonances, assign their quantum numbers, and provide them with an “identity card.”
His group is actively engaged with the PANDA experiment (antiproton annihilation at Darmstadt), currently under construction at GSI in Germany, as well as the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project at CERN. In addition, he has contributed as a member of the ATLAS B-Physics Group (2010–2018) and the ALICE collaboration (2021–2023) at CERN.

Birten Barsbay İnaç’s research is centered on particle physics, with particular emphasis on exotic hadrons and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Her work involves the application of two-point, three-point, and light-cone sum rules to investigate the weak and strong decay processes of hadrons. These studies contribute to a deeper understanding of hadronic properties and provide theoretical predictions that serve as valuable input for major international experimental collaborations. In particular, she has made original contributions to hadron phenomenology by determining the physical characteristics of novel hadronic states and analyzing their decay channels.
