We give an overview over recent calculations of baryonic correlator functions with finite mass quarks in view on their applicability for QCD sum rules. The QCD sum rule method is then demonstrated within the Heavy Quark Effective Theory.
We study the uncertainties of the determination of the ground-state parameters from Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (SVZ) sum rules, making use of the harmonic-oscillator potential model as an example. In this case, one knows the exact solution…
QCD sum rules are based on the Operator Product Expansion of current correlators, and on QCD-hadron duality. An extension of this program to finite temperature is discussed. This allows for a study of deconfinement and chiral-symmetry…
We introduce a new sum-rule for large-$N_c$ QCD which relates the density of heavy quarkonium states, the state-averaged square of the wavefunction at the origin, and the heavy quark current-current correlator. Focusing on the region of…

The decay constants of the charmed heavy pseudoscalar D and D_s mesons are revisited within a recently developed novel approach to dispersive QCD sum rules which relies on an unprejudiced implementation of quark-hadron duality. The proposed…
Slight sophistications of the QCD sum-rule formalism may have great impact on the reliability of predicted hadron observables, as exemplified for the case of heavy-meson decay constants.
A proper way of subtracting the continuum contributions in light-cone QCD sum rules (LCQSR) is demonstrated. Specifically, we calculate the continuum corresponding to a typical OPE appearing in LCQSR by properly combining the double…
We present a QCD bound-state calculation based on a renormalization group-improved light-front Hamiltonian formalism. The QCD Hamiltonian is determined to second order in the coupling, and it includes two-body confining interactions. We…

In this article, we take the tensor currents $\bar{Q}(x)\sigma_{\mu\nu}Q(x)$ to interpolate the $P$-wave spin-singlet heavy quarkonium states $h_Q$, and study the masses and decay constants with the Borel sum rules and moments sum rules.…
We introduce two approaches to analyses of Borel sum rules. In the first method, we take the Borel mass M2 to infinity. Here, the sum rules become very sensitive to the chosen threshold s0. We fix the threshold by setting the daughter sum…
