QCD sum rules are used to study the mass spectrum of bottom-charm hybrid $\bar bGc$ systems. The correlation functions and the spectral densities are calculated up to dimension six condensates at leading order of $\alpha_s$ for several…
We consider the scattering of two color dipoles (e.g., heavy quarkonium states) at low energy - a QCD analog of Van der Waals interaction. Even though the couplings of the dipoles to the gluon field can be described in perturbation theory,…
Despite measurements which date more than 20 years ago, no straightforward solution of the ratio of the parity-conserving (P-wave) to parity- violating (S-wave) decays of the hyperons has been obtained. Here we use two 2-point methods in…
We review a recently proposed approach to study the lowest negative parity baryons within the $1/N_c$ expansion. The method is based on the derivation of the matrix elements of SU(2N$_f$) generators for mixed symmetric $[N_c-1,1]$…
It is shown in a systematic way that the instanton dilute model can be combined with the global colour symmetry model to form a new nonperturbative QCD model. Based on the quark propagator derived in the instanton dilute liquid…
The masses of excited heavy mesons are studied with sum rules in the heavy quark effective theory. A set of interpolating currents creating (annihilating) excited heavy mesons with arbitrary spin and parity are proposed and their properties…
The 1/m_c and 1/m_b corrections to the \Lambda_b to \Lambda_c semi- leptonic decay are analyzed by QCD sum rules. Within the framework of heavy quark effective theory,the subleading baryonic Isgur-Wise func- tion of \Lambda_b to \Lambda_c…
These lecture notes focus on the bound state sector of QCD. Motivated by data which suggests that the strong coupling \alpha_s(Q) freezes at low Q, and by similarities between the spectra of hadrons and atoms, I discuss if and how QCD bound…
We study the work of Leinweber by applying the Continuum Model of QCD Sum Rules (QCDSR) to the analysis of (quenched) lattice correlation functions. We expand upon his work in several areas and find that, while the QCDSR Continuum Model…

The analysis of the sum rules (for two differentchoices of 5-quark currents) indicate that to explain experimental results it is necessary to have some one-particle lower state (and pentaquark is a reliable candidate to this state) while…
QCD sum rules are evaluated at finite nucleon densities and temperatures to determine the change of pole mass parameters for the lightest vector mesons $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ in a strongly interacting medium at conditions relevant for…
$g_{K N \Lambda}$ and $g_{K N \Sigma}$ are calculated using a QCD sum rule motivated method used by Reinders, Rubinstein and Yazaki to extract Hadron couplings to goldstone bosons. The SU(3) symmetry breaking effects are taken into account…
Using the QCD sum rule approach we investigate the possible four-quark structure for the new observed $B_{s}^0\pi^\pm$ narrow structure (D0). We use a diquak-antidiquark scalar current and work to the order of $m_s$ in full QCD, without…
In order to better understand the fundamental issue regarding the compatibility between the quark-shell picture and that of resonances in meson-nucleon scattering in large $N_c$ QCD we extend the work of Cohen and Lebed on mixed symmetric…
QCD sum-rule studies have been useful to understand and get an insight on the structure of exotic states, such as tetraquark systems. Moreover, the majority of these studies are performed only at leading-order (LO) within the light…
QCD sum rules are overviewed with an emphasize on the practical applications of this method to the physics of light and heavy hadrons.
We employ a nonrelativistic version of QCD (NRQCD) to study heavy quark-antiquark bound states in the lowest approximation without fine structure. We use gluon configurations on a 16^3 by 48 lattice at beta=6.2 from the UKQCD collaboration.…
We propose an extension of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) sum rules, termed the Resonance sum rules (RSR), to access resonance poles in the complex energy plane. By strategically introducing a contour in the complex plane and conformal…
We extend the 1/N_c meson-baryon scattering formalism to pi N to multi-pi N case. We first show that the leading-order large N_c processes proceed through resonant intermediate states (e.g., rho N or pi Delta). We find that the pole…
