The nature of the recently observed $K(1690)$ state, reported by the COMPASS Collaboration as a candidate for a strange crypto-exotic meson with $J^P=0^-$, remains unclear. In this work, we investigate whether it can be described by local…

The Operator Product Expansion (OPE) of current correlators at short distances beyond perturbation theory in QCD, together with Cauchy's theorem in the complex energy plane, are the pillars of the method of QCD sum rules. This technique…
We use QCD sum rules to study the possible existence of a \Theta c(3250) charmed pentaquark. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension-10 and work at leading order in \alpha_s. We obtain m(\Theta c) = (3.21 +/- 0.13) GeV,…
We re-examine the estimates of the higher twist contributions to the integral of $g_1$, the polarised structure function of the nucleon, based on QCD sum rules. By including corrections both to the perturbative contribution and to the low…

The gauge invariant two-point correlator for the gluon field strength tensor in analysed by means of the QCD sum rule method. To this end, we make use of a relation of this correlator to a two-point function for a quark-gluon hybrid in the…
In a recent preprint Cheon and Cheoun have derived from a chiral model an additional term, not usually appearing in the standard matrix element for radiative muon capture. Using that term they generate a large correction to the RMC spectrum…
The decay constants of the pseudoscalar mesons B and B_s are evaluated from QCD sum rules for the pseudoscalar two-point function. Recently calculated perturbative three-loop QCD corrections are incorporated into the sum rule. An analysis…
We study a QCD sum rule analysis for an exotic tetraquark ud bar[s] bar[s] of J^P=0^+ and I = 1. We construct q q bar[q] bar[q] currents in a local product form and find that there are five independent currents for this channel. Due to high…
In this article, we construct the diquark-diquark-antiquark type interpolating currents, and study the masses and pole residues of the $J^P={\frac{3}{2}}^-$ and ${\frac{5}{2}}^+$ hidden-charmed pentaquark states in details with the QCD sum…
Using the framework of QCD sum rules we predict the twist-3 contribution to the second moment of the polarized nucleon structure function $g_2(x)$. As the relevant local operator depends explicitely on the gluon field, we employ a recently…
We use diquark-antidiquark currents to investigate the masses and partial decay widths of the recently observed mesons $D_{sJ}^{+}(2317)$, $D_0^{*0}(2308)$ and X(3872), considered as four-quark states, in a QCD sum rule approach. In…

We study the light scalar mesons in the QCD sum rule. We find that there are five independent scalar tetraquark currents in the local form, and we perform QCD sum rule analysis using both these currents and their combinations. Compared with…
The standard procedure to determine (analytically) the values of the quark masses is to relate QCD two-point functions to experimental data in the framework of QCD sum rules. In the case of the light quark sector, the ideal Green function…

The concept of QCD sum rules is extended to bound states composed of particles with finite mass such as scalar quarks or strange quarks. It turns out that mass corrections become important in this context. The number of relevant corrections…
