We study the D-wave c_bar s heavy meson doublets (1^-,2^-) and (2^-,3^-) using the method of QCD sum rule in the framework of heavy quark effective theory. Choosing the same threshold values omega_c around 2.7 Gev, we calculate the masses…

We update our perturbative determination of MSbar bottom quark mass mb(mb), by including the recently obtained four-loop coefficient in the relation between the pole and MSbar mass. First the renormalon subtracted (RS or RS') mass is…
We present the first direct determination of the running top-quark mass based on the total cross section of top-quark pair-production as measured at the Tevatron. Our theory prediction for the cross section includes various…
We argue that for a Higgs boson mass M_H ~125 GeV, as suggested by recent Higgs searches at the LHC, the inclusion of electroweak radiative corrections in the relationship between the pole and MS-bar masses of the top quark reduces the…
We use the method of QCD Sum Rules to estimate the masses of the charm baryon, $\Lambda^+_c$, bottom baryon $\Lambda^0_b$, strange baryon $\Lambda^0_s$ and compare them to their experimental values.

We present a determination of the charm- and bottom-quark masses using the heavy-quark step-scaling strategy. Renormalization is performed in small volumes where relativistic bottom quarks can be simulated directly. A sequence of…
We present a measurement of the top quark mass using a sample of t-tbar decays into an electron or a muon, a neutrino, and four jets. The data were collected in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV with the Collider Detector at Fermilab and…
We give the first accurate results for $B$ and $B_s$ meson masses from lattice QCD including the effect of $u$, $d$ and $s$ sea quarks, and we improve an earlier value for the $B_c$ meson mass. By using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark…
We sketch a recent sum-rule extraction of the decay constants of the heavy pseudoscalar mesons D, D_s, B, and B_s from the two-point correlator of heavy-light pseudoscalar currents [1]. Our main emphasis lies on the control over all the…
We present preliminary results for the charm quark mass $m_c$ and the $D$ and $D_s$ mesons decay constants $f_D$ and $f_{D_s}$ from a lattice QCD calculation with ${\rm N_f}$ = 2 dynamical fermions. We use the twisted mass fermionic action…
We select sum rules from which one can extract directly reliable limits on the size of the chiral symmetry breaking light quark condensate $<\bar\psi\psi>$. Combined results from the nucleon and $B^*-B$ mass-splitting sum rules give a…
We determine the strong coupling $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ from dimensionless ratios of roots of moments of the charm- and bottom-quark vector and charm pseudo-scalar correlators, dubbed…
The 1/m corrections to heavy baryon masses are calculated from the QCD sum rules within the framework of the heavy quark effective theory. Numerical results for the heavy baryons are obtained. The implications of the results are discussed.
We discuss the status of our ongoing efforts to improve on our calculation of the $D_s$ decay constant. We show preliminary results on the ratio of the charm to the strange quark mass. We also present preliminary results for spectroscopy,…

By using QCD sum rules, the mass of the hidden charm tetraquark $[cu][\bar{c}\bar{d}]$ state with $I^{G} (J^{P}) = 1^+ (1^{+})$ (HCTV) is estimated, which presumably will turn out to be the newly observed charmonium-like resonance…
