Direct Instantons in QCD Nucleon Sum Rules

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We study the role of direct (i.e. small-scale) instantons in QCD correlation functions for the nucleon. They generate sizeable, nonperturbative corrections to the conventional operator product expansion, which improve the quality of both QCD nucleon sum rules and cure the long-standing stability problem, in particular, of the chirally odd sum-rule.
