Mass formulas for the light-vector mesons written in terms of the gluon condensate i.e., the trace anomaly in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), are derived on the basis of finite energy QCD sum rules. We utilize sum rules with $s^n$ and…

The mass of the lowest scalar glueball is discussed by using QCD sum rules. We find that the glueball mass is sensitive to the choice of moments and slightly depends on the radiative corrections. With the help of suitable moments and…

Semileptonic decays of D-mesons into scalar hadronic states are investigated. Two extreme cases are considered: a) the meson decays directly into an uncorrelated scalar state of two two mesons and b) the decay proceeds via resonance…
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…
The transition form factors of $B_{(s)} \to S$, with $S$ denoting a scalar meson, are investigated in the light-cone sum rules approach. The numerical values are approximately twice as large as that estimated in the light-front quark model…
We update the extraction of |V_{us}| from hadronic tau decay data in light of recent BaBar and Belle results on the branching fractions of a number of important strange decay modes. A range of sum rule analyses is performed, particular…
Proton decay is a baryon number violating process, and hence is forbidden in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Baryon number violation is expected to be an important criteria to explain the matter-anti-matter asymmetry of the…

We compute the light and strange quark masses m_l = (m_u+m_d)/2 and m_s, respectively, in full lattice QCD with N_f=2 flavors of light dynamical quarks. The renormalization constants, which convert bare quark masses into renormalized quark…
The photodisintegration cross sections of the deuteron have been systematically measured over the photon energy range of 2.33-19.65 MeV at the Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source (SLEGS). By applying the well-established Baldin sum rule to…
We compare the extraction of the ground-state decay constant from the two-point correlator in QCD and in potential models and show that the results obtained at each step of the extraction procedure follow a very similar pattern. We prove…
We demonstrate that Borel QCD sum rules for heavy-light currents entail a very strong correlation between the $b$-quark mass $m_b$ and the $B$-meson decay constant $f_B,$ that is, $\delta f_B/f_B\approx-8\delta m_b/m_b.$ By starting from…
In this manuscript, I will report the details of our recent work on the vector meson-baryon (VB) interaction, which we studied with the motivation of finding dynamical generation of resonances in the corresponding systems. We started our…
We investigate the collective response function and the energy-weighted sums (EWS) $m_k$ for isovector mode in hot nuclei. The approach is based on the collisional kinetic theory and takes into consideration the temperature and the…
