The strong coupling constants g_{K LAMBDA N} and g_{K SIGMA N} for the structure (sigma_{mu,nu} gamma_5) are calculated within light cone QCD sum rules. A comparison of our results on these couplings with predictions from traditional QCD…
QCD sum rules are analytic predictions of hadron observables from quantum chromodynamics. In the so-called local-duality limit of their Borel-transformed form, all nonperturbative contributions are encompassed by just a single quantity, an…
We investigate the hyperon semileptonic decay constants, $f_2/f_1$, and $g_1/f_1$, within a general framework of a chiral soliton model. All relevant parameters for the SU(3) baryon wave functions were unambiguously determined by using the…
