Within the complete heavy quark effective field theory (HQEFT), the QCD sum rule approach is used to evaluate the decay constants including 1/m_Q corrections and the Isgur-Wise function and other additional important wave functions…
The spectrum of the negative-parity spin-1/2 $\Lambda$ baryons is studied using lattice QCD and hadronic effective theory in a unitarized coupled-channel framework. A direct comparison between the two approaches is possible by considering…
Heavy-light mesons, heavy quarkonium and doubly heavy baryons are briefly discussed. Effective field theories (EFTs) of QCD based on the heavy quark mass expansion 1/m_Q provide a unified framework to describe all three systems. They…
The two-dimensional QCD in the large $N$ limit, generally referred to as the 't Hooft model, is numerically investigated in the axial gauge in a comprehensive manner. The corresponding Bethe-Salpeter equation for a bound $q\bar{q}$ pair,…
We discuss the issue of the local quark-hadron duality at high energies in two- and four-dimensional QCD. A mechanism of the dynamical realization of the quark-hadron duality in two- dimensional QCD in the limit of large number of colors,…
This work extends our previous studies of two-photon annihilation into baryon-antibaryon pairs from spin-1/2 octet to spin-3/2 decuplet baryons. Our approach is based on perturbative QCD and treats baryons as quark-diquark systems. Using…
In the $m_Q\rightarrow\infty$ limit, the hyperfine splittings in the ground state doubly heavy baryons $\left(QQq\right)$ and single heavy antimesons $(\bar{Q}q)$ are related by heavy quark-diquark symmetry (HQDQ) as the light degrees of…
Estimates of the CP violating observable $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ have gained some attention in the past few years. Depending on the long-distance treatment used, they exhibit up to $2.9\sigma$ deviation from the experimentally measured…
Following the recent analysis done in collaboration with Jason Aebischer and Christoph Bobeth, I summarize the optimal, in our view, strategy for the present evaluation of the ratio $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in the Standard Model (SM). In…
We develop chiral perturbation theory for baryons in quenched QCD. Quenching (the elimination of diagrams containing virtual quark loops) is achieved by extending the Lagrangian method of Bernard and Golterman, and is implemented in a…
We review the current status of heavy quark symmetry and its applications to weak decays of hadrons containing a single heavy quark. After an introduction to the underlying physical ideas, we discuss in detail the formalism of the heavy…
A dynamically broken hadron supersymmetry appears to exist as a consequence of QCD. The reasons for the supersymmetry appear most transparently in the framework of the constituent quark model with a diquark approximation to two quarks.…
We perform for the first time a direct calculation of on-shell $K\to\pi\pi$ hadronic matrix elements of chromomagnetic operators (CMO) in the Standard Model and beyond. To his end, we use the successful Dual QCD (DQCD) approach in which we…
QCD sum rules for decuplet baryon two-point functions are investigated using a comprehensive Monte-Carlo based procedure. In this procedure, all uncertainties in the QCD input parameters are incorporated simultaneously, resulting in…

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…
Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) is a new approach to QCD problems involving a heavy quark. In the leading approximation, the heavy quark is considered as a static source of the gluon field; 1/m corrections can be systematically included…
The zero-mass (ZM) parton formalism is widely used in high-energy physics because of its simplicity and historical importance, even while massive quarks (c,b,t) are playing an increasingly prominent role in particle phenomenology, including…
QCD is an extensively developed and tested gauge theory, which models the strong interactions in the high-energy regime. In this talk, I shall review the considerable progress which has been achieved in the last few years in the most…
The spectrum of baryons with two heavy quarks is predicted, assuming a configuration of a light quark and a heavy diquark. The masses are computed within a semirelativistic quark model, using a potential obtained in the framework of the…
