We present a new framework for the extraction of the strong coupling from hadronic \tau decays through finite-energy sum rules. Our focus is on the small, but still significant non-perturbative effects that, in principle, affect both the…
The perturbative result for the quark-mass conversion factor between the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ and regularization-independent symmetric-momentum subtraction scheme (RI/SMOM) away from the chiral limit, i.e. at non-zero quark masses…
The key quantity of the heavy quark theory is the quark mass $m_Q$. Since quarks are unobservable one can suggest different definitions of $m_Q$. One of the most popular choices is the pole quark mass routinely used in perturbative…
Parameters of the heavy four-quark scalar meson $T_{\mathrm{bc\overline{b} \overline{c}}}$ with content $bc \overline{b}\overline{c}$ are calculated by means of the sum rule method. This structure is considered as a diquark-antidiquark…
Using the Laplace sum rule (LSR) approach, which is less affected by the contribution of the higher mass hadronic states than the Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR), we test the reliability of the existing estimate of the $K^0$-$\overline {K}^0$…
A simple regularity in anticipating P-wave excitation energies of states with heavy quarks is noted. It can apply to systems such as the negative-parity $\Sigma_c$, $\Sigma_b$, and $\Omega_c$, $\bar Q Q$ quarkonia, and the bottom-charmed…
Presently the quarkonium spectrum, written in terms of the quark MSbar-mass, is known at O(alpha_s^3 m) accuracy. We point out that in order to achieve O(alpha_s^4 m) accuracy it is sufficient to calculate further (I) the O(alpha_s^4 m)…

We study the masses of the doubly bottom baryons and the charmed bottom baryons up to $\mathcal{O}\left(p^{3}\right)$ in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. For the low-energy constants, $g_{A}$ was determined in the quark model, and…
We have studied pseudoscalar correlation functions computed using the overlap operator. Within the accuracy of our calculation we find that the quark mass dependence agrees with the prediction of lowest-order Chiral Perturbation Theory…

The running of the top quark mass ($m_\mathrm{t}$) is probed at the next-to-next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics for the first time. The result is obtained by comparing calculations in the modified minimal subtraction…
