The semihadronic tau decay width allows a clean extraction of the strong coupling constant at low energies. We present a modification of the standard "contour improved" method based on a derivative expansion of the Adler function. The…
We review our results in\,\cite{ANR22} for the masses and couplings of $T_{ccqq'}\, (J^P=0^+)$ states from (inverse) QCD Laplace sum rule (LSR), their ratios ${\cal R}$ and double ratio of sum rules (DRSR) within stability criteria and…
We construct QCD sum rules for nonperturbative studies without assuming the quark-hadron duality for the spectral density at low energy on the hadron side. Instead, both resonance and continuum contributions to the spectral density are…
We study the quark-gluon mixed condensate g<\bar{q} sigma G q>, using the SU(3)c lattice QCD with the Kogut-Susskind fermion at the quenched level. We generate 100 gauge configurations on the 16^4 lattice with \beta = 6.0, and perform the…
Motivated by the rapid development of heavy-flavor experiments, phenomenological studies of nonleptonic $\bar{B}_{d,s} \to D^{*}_{d,s} V$ and $\bar{B}_{d,s}^* \to D_{d,s} V$~($V=\rho\,,K^*$) decays are performed within the framework of QCD…
We discuss the ratio of hadronic to leptonic tau-decays, that can be expanded in an operator product expansion. The sensitivity to the strange mass is increased, if only the flavor-breaking difference of strange to non-strange currents is…
A QCD Laplace sum rule framework is employed to investigate the relationship between the mass and the decay width of the sigma, the lowest-lying isoscalar resonance in the spin-zero meson channel. Our analysis differs from prior analyses,…

We present lattice-QCD calculations of the hadronic form factors for the semileptonic decays $D\to\pi\ell\nu$, $D\to K\ell\nu$, and $D_s\to K\ell\nu$. Our calculation uses the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action for all valence…
In this article, we construct the six-quark currents with the $J^P=0^+$, $0^-$, $1^+$ and $1^-$ to study the $\Lambda_c$$\Lambda_c$ dibaryon and $\Lambda_c$$\bar{\Lambda}_c$ baryonium states via QCD sum rules. We consider the vacuum…
Corrections of order $\alpha_s^4$ for the axial singlet contributions for the decay rates of the $Z$-boson into hadrons are evaluated in the limit of the heavy top quark mass. Combined with recently finished ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^4)$…
We present improved estimates of the couplings, masses and mass ratios of the Z_Q,X_Q and T_{QQqq} states using QCD Laplace sum rules (LSR), their ratios R and double ratios DRSR within stability criteria, where the NLO factorized PT QCD…
The calculation of perturbative corrections to the spectral moments observable in hadronic $\tau$ decays is reconsidered. The exact order-$\alpha_s^3$ results and the resummation procedure of Le~Diberder and Pich are compared with a partial…
