Using the {\it hybrid} moments-Laplace sum rule (HSR), which is well-defined for $M_b \rar \infty$, in contrast with the $popular$ double Borel (Laplace) sum rule (DLSR), which blows up in this limit when applied to the heavy-to-light…
The isospin-singlet scalar meson $f_0(980)$ is hypothesized to consist of two energy eigenstates, forming a mixture of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\bar{u}u + \bar{d}d)$ and $\bar{s}s$. Building on this framework, we apply the QCD sum rules approach…
