We discuss the radial spectrum of light scalar mesons in the framework of spectral sum rules in the large-Nc (planar) limit of QCD. Two methods based on the use of linear radial Regge trajectories are presented. A special emphasis is placed…
We compute the electromagnetic mass differences of mesons containing a single heavy quark in terms of measurable data using QCD-based arguments in heavy-quark effective theory. We derive an unsubtracted dispersion relation that shows that…
The properties of open strange meson $K_1^\pm$ in nuclear matter are estimated in the QCD sum rule approach. We obtain a relation between the in-medium mass and width of $K_1^-$ ($K_1^+$) in nuclear matter, and show that the upper limit of…
Classic calculations of the magnetic moments mu_p and mu_n of the nucleons using the traditional exponential kernel show instability with respect to variations of the Borel mass as well as arbitrariness with respect to the choice of the…
We discuss QCD sum rule constraints based on moments of vector meson spectral distributions in the vacuum and in a nuclear medium. Sum rules for the two lowest moments of these spectral distributions do not suffer from uncertainties related…
Atomic nuclei are the core of everything we can see. At the first level of approximation, their atomic weights are simply the sum of the masses of all the nucleons they contain. Each nucleon has a mass $m_N \approx 1\,$GeV, i.e.…
Scalar form factor of the nucleon is calculated in the framework of light cone QCD sum rules, using the most general form of the baryon current. Using the result on scalar form factor of the nucleon, the nucleon-scalar "sigma" and "a_0"…
Nuclear masses are the most fundamental of all nuclear properties, yet they can provide a wealth of knowledge, including information on astrophysical sites, constraints on existing theory, and fundamental symmetries. In nearly all…
In a recent paper [1] we have proposed a new approach for extracting the wave function of the $\pi$-meson $\varphi_{\pi}(x)$ and the masses and wave functions of its first resonances from the new QCD sum rules for non-diagonal correlators…
We establish a connection between the quark model results and the $1/N_c$ expansion mass formula used in the description of baryon resonances. We show that a remarkable compatibility exists between the two methods.
The various experiments on neutrino oscillation evidenced that neutrinos have indeed non-zero masses but cannot tell us the absolute neutrino mass scale. This scale of neutrino masses is very important for understanding the evolution and…
Our understanding of the rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis process in universe depends on the reliability of nuclear mass predictions. Initiated by the newly developed mass table in the relativistic mean field theory (RMF), in this…
We compute finite-size corrections to nucleon masses and magnetic moments in a periodic, spatial box of size L, both in QCD and in partially-quenched QCD.
The performance of nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems depends on a precise understanding of the neutron interaction cross sections for materials used in these systems. These cross sections exhibit resonant structure whose shape is…
Using the finite-range regularisation (FRR) of chiral effective field theory, the chiral extrapolation formula for the vector meson mass is derived for the case of partially-quenched QCD. We re-analyse the dynamical fermion QCD data for the…
The rotational constant parametrizes the relative spacing between a molecule's rotational energy levels. It depends on the molecule's classical moments of inertia, which, in all studies, are expressed by treating the constituent nuclei as…
Quark mass ratios are expressed within the linear meson model by universal relations involving only the masses and decay constants of the flavored pseudoscalars as well as their wave function renormalization. Quantitative results are in…
We discuss the general method of the calculation of the nucleon matrix elements of an operator associated with nonvalence quarks. The method is based on the QCD sum rules and low energy theorems. As an application of these considerations,…
We discuss the neutrino oscillations, using texture zero mass matrices for the leptons. The reactor mixing angle $\theta^{}_{l}$ is calculated. The ratio of the masses of two neutrinos is determined by the solar mixing angle. We can…
The masses and decay constants of the ground state heavy $\chi_{Q2}(Q=b,c)$ tensor mesons are calculated in the framework of the QCD sum rules approach. The obtained results on the masses are in good consistency with the experimental…
