The in-medium sum rules are employed to calculate the shifts in the mass and residue as well as the scalar and vector self-energies of the heavy $\Lambda_Q, \Sigma_Q$ and $\Xi_Q$ baryons, with Q being $b$ or $c$ quark. The maximum shift in…
The aim of the present article is investigation of the newly observed resonances $\Xi_c(2923)^{0}$, $\Xi_c(2939)^{0}$, and $\Xi_c(2965)^{0}$ which are real candidates to charm-strange baryons. To this end, we calculate the mass and pole…
We analyze sum rules for the $\Upsilon$ system with resummation of threshold effects on the basis of the nonrelativistic Coulomb approximation. We find for the pole mass of the bottom quark $m_b=4.75\pm 0.04 GeV$ and for the strong coupling…
In this article, we study the mass spectrum of the low-lying triply heavy hybrid baryon, which consists of three valence heavy quarks in a color octet and one valence gluon, with spin-parity $J^P=(\frac{1}{2})^+$ via QCD sum rules. This is…
We support the idea that the baryon, B with mass $M_B$, couples to its current with a coupling $\la_{B}^2 \sim 0.71 M_B^6$ from an analysis of magnetic moment sum rules. And we find a sum rule among the experimental magnetic moments which…
We compute charm and bottom quark masses in the quenched approximation and in the continuum limit of lattice QCD. We make use of a step scaling method, previously introduced to deal with two scale problems, that allows to take the continuum…
Light-cone QCD sum rules are employed to compute the strong coupling constants: g_{B^* B^* pi}, g_{B_1 B_0 pi} and g_{B_1 B^* pi}, where (B,B^*) and (B_0,B_1) are negative and positive parity (0^-,1^-) and (0^+,1^+) \bar qQ doublets. The…
We show that the high local baryonic fraction, M(bar) ~ 1/3 M(tot), found in groups and clusters of galaxies does not reconcile the observed cosmological baryon density with the standard Big-Bang prediction. Taking into account recent…
It is shown that the empirical rule that the masses of the stable mesons and baryons of the gamma-branch are integer multiples of the mass of the pi0 meson with a maximal deviation of 3.3% holds also for the meson and baryon resonances,…
The mass spectra of doubly heavy baryons are systematically calculated in the framework of QCD sum rules. With a tentative heavy-diquark--light-quark configuration, the interpolating currents representing the doubly heavy baryons are…
QCD sum rules for D and B mesons embedded in cold nuclear matter are evaluated. We quantify the mass splitting of D - D-bar and B - B-bar mesons as a function of the nuclear matter density; extrapolated to saturation density it is in the…
We show that signs of pole residues $\lambda_N, \lambda_\Lambda, \lambda_\Sigma, \lambda_\Xi$ for ${1\over2}^+$ octet baryons are identical in the QCD sum rule approach. To do this we compare signs of meson-baryon coupling constants $ g_{KN…
We evaluate the mass of the $B_{s0}$ scalar meson and the coupling constant in the $B_{s0} B K$ vertex in the framework of QCD sum rules. We consider the $B_{s0}$ as a tetraquark state to evaluate its mass. We get $m_{B_s0}=(6.04\pm 0.08)…
We discuss applications of QCD sum rules on the light-cone to the form factors of the exclusive transitions $B \rightarrow \pi$ and $D\rightarrow \pi$, and to the $B^*B \pi$ and $D^*D \pi$ coupling constants. In the light of our results we…
Within the QCD sum-rule approach in an external field, we calculate the baryon matrix element of isovector-scalar current, $H_{\rm B}=\langle B|\overline{u}u- \overline{d}d|B\rangle/2M_{\rm B}$, for octet baryons, which appears in the…
A detailed compilation of uncertainties in the MSbar bottom quark mass m_b(m_b) obtained from low-n spectral sum rules at order alpha_s^2 is given including charm mass effects and secondary b production. The experimental continuum region…
We show that in the context of QCD sum rules a strong (anti-) correlation between the $b$-quark mass $m_b$ and the $B$-meson's decay constant $f_B$ emerges: $\delta f_B/f_B\approx -8 \delta m_b/m_b.$ This observation allows us to derive a…
In this contribution an improved analysis is described to extract precise charm and bottom quark masses from experimental and theoretical moments of the photon polarization function. The obtained $\bar{\rm MS}$ mass values read $m_c(3…
In this article, we construct the six-quark currents with the $J^P=0^+$, $0^-$, $1^+$ and $1^-$ to study the $\Lambda_c$$\Lambda_c$ dibaryon and $\Lambda_c$$\bar{\Lambda}_c$ baryonium states via QCD sum rules. We consider the vacuum…
Inspired by the recent observation of the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ by LHCb collaboration, we explore the "decay constants" of doubly heavy baryons in the framework of QCD sum rules. With the $\Xi_{cc}, \Xi_{bc}, \Xi_{bb}$, and $\Omega_{cc},…
