We discuss applications of QCD sum rules on the light-cone to the form factors of the exclusive transitions $B \rightarrow \pi$ and $D\rightarrow \pi$, and to the $B^*B \pi$ and $D^*D \pi$ coupling constants. In the light of our results we…

The planned experiments at FAIR enable the study of medium modifications of $D$ and $B$ mesons in (dense) nuclear matter. Evaluating QCD sum rules as a theoretical prerequisite for such investigations encounters heavy-light four-quark…
A distinctive feature of the presence of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in QCD is the condensation of low modes of the Dirac operator near the origin. The rate of condensation must be equal to the slope of (Mpi^2 Fpi^2)/2 with respect…
In this article, we assume that the nonet scalar mesons below $1\,\rm{ GeV}$ are the two-quark-tetraquark mixed states and study their masses and pole residues using the QCD sum rules. In calculation, we take into account the vacuum…
Using the unification of the chiral SU(3) model and QCD sum rules, we deduce the in-medium properties of $K^\pm_1$ meson. Within the chiral SU(3) model, medium modified gluon and quark condensates are evaluated through their interactions…
