The mass spectra of ground-state triply heavy baryons are systematically unscrambled and computed in QCD sum rules. With a tentative $(QQ)-(Q')$ configuration for $QQQ'$, the interpolating currents representing the triply heavy baryons are…
We derive QCD sum rules for heavy baryons at leading order in $1/m_Q$ and at next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. The calculation involves the evaluation of four different perturbative three-loop diagrams which determine the…

We study details of QCD sum rules \`a la Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov for exotic tetraquark states. We point out that duality relations for correlators involving exotic currents have fundamental differences compared with the duality…
In this paper we investigate the effects due to the mixing of two interpolating currents for ground state baryons within the framework of Heavy Quark Effective Theory using the QCD sum rule approach. Both two-point and three-point sum…
Two new QCD sum rules for nucleon tensor charge are derived from a mixed correlator of spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 nucleon interpolating fields. These sum rules are analyzed along with a sum rule obtained from the usual correlator of a general…
We extend a recent sum rule calculation for inelastic quarkonium-hadron interactions to realistic parton distribution functions; we also include finite target-mass corrections. Both modifications are shown to have no significant effect on…
Meson mixing is considered to be an ideal candidate for new physics searches. Current experimental precision has greatly increased over the recent years, excelling in several cases the theoretical precision. A possible limit in the…
