In a nonrelativistic potential quark model framework, we carry out a precise calculation of the mass spectrum of the all-heavy tetraquarks with different flavors, $bb\bar{b}\bar{c}$, $cc\bar{c}\bar{b}$, $bb\bar{c}\bar{c}$, and…

The QCD up- and down-quark masses are determined from an optimized QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) involving the correlator of axial-vector current divergences. In the QCD sector this correlator is known to five loop order in perturbative…

The $Z_b(10610)^\pm$ and $Z_b(10650)^\pm$ are two bottomonium-like structures discovered in the $\pi h_b(mP)$, $\pi \Upsilon(nS)$ and $B^\ast\bar B^{(\ast)}+h.c.$ invariant mass spectra, where $m=\{1,2\}$ and $n=\{1,2,3\}$. Their nature is…

QCD sum rules for the determination of form factors of $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda_c$ semileptonic decays are investigated. With a form for the baryonic current appropriate for the limits of the heavy quark symmetries, the different tensor…

We present a review of our results for the masses and couplings of the scalar fully heavy four-quarks and $T_{QQ\bar{q}\bar{q}'}\, (J^P=0^\pm , 1^\pm)$ tetraquarks states from QCD Laplace sum rule (LSR), their ratios ${\cal R}$ and double…

The form factors of $B_c\rightarrow\eta_c$ and $B_c\rightarrow J/\psi$ are analyzed in the framework of three-point QCD sum rules. In these analyses, the contributions of the vacuum condensate terms $\langle g_{s}^{2}GG\rangle$ and $\langle…

We investigate in detail the role of heavy meson loops in the transition from $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ sources to candidates for QCD "exotics", such as $Z_c(3900)$, $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b'(10650)$. We demonstrate that, if a vector state strongly…

In present work, we perform a coupled-channel analysis of $B^{(*)}_{(s)}\bar{B}^{(*)}_{(s)}$ systems with the one-boson-exchange potentials. We first study the $I(J^{PC})=1(1^{+-})$ $B\bar{B}^{*}/B^{*}\bar{B}^{*}$ system to describe the…

The method of QCD sum rules has proven to be particularly useful in heavy quark physics, where a small distance scale is provided by the inverse heavy quark mass. We present two new examples for the application of this method to B-physics:…
