We study a hypothetical $\Delta^0\Delta^0$ dibaryon state by means of QCD sum rule method. We construct a scalar interpolating current to extract the mass and decay constant of this state taking into account contributions of various quark,…
We derive a QCD sum rule for the inverse moment of the $B_s$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude in HQET. Within this method, the $SU(3)_{fl}$ symmetry violation is traced to the strange quark mass and to the difference between strange…
The decay constants of the pseudoscalar mesons B and B_s are evaluated from QCD sum rules for the pseudoscalar two-point function. Recently calculated perturbative three-loop QCD corrections are incorporated into the sum rule. An analysis…
We present a lattice QCD computation of the b-quark mass, the B and B_s decay constants, the B-mixing bag parameters for the full four-fermion operator basis as well as determinations for \xi and f_{Bq}\sqrt{B_i^{(q)}} extrapolated to the…
QCD Laplace sum-rules are used to examine the constituent mass spectrum of $J^P\in\{0^+,1^+\}$ heavy-light [Qq] diquarks with $Q\in\{c,b\}$ and $q\in\{u,d,s\}$. As in previous sum-rule studies, the negative parity $J^P\in\{0^-, 1^-\}$ [Qq]…
We review QCD sum rule applications to hadronic matrix elements of exclusive $B$ and $D$ decays. Results are presented for the form factors $f^+$ and $F_0$ of $B \rightarrow \pi$ and $D\rightarrow \pi$ transitions. The predictions are used…
We re-examine the theoretical uncertainty in the Standard Model expression for $B^0$-$\bar{B}^0$ mixing. We focus on lattice calculations of the ratio $\xi$, needed to relate the oscillation frequency of $B^0_s$-$\bar{B}^0_s$ mixing to the…
New relations between QCD Borel sum rules for masses of Sigma^0 and Lambda hyperons are constructed. It is shown that starting from the sum rule for the Sigma^0 hyperon mass it is straightforward to obtain the corresponding sum rule for the…
We employ renormalization group (RG) summation techniques to obtain portions of Laplace QCD sum rules for scalar gluon currents beyond the order to which they have been explicitly calculated. The first two of these sum rules are considered…
We apply the method of QCD sum rules to study the $s s \bar s \bar s$ tetraquark states of $J^{PC} = 0^{-+}$. We construct all the relevant $s s \bar s \bar s$ tetraquark currents, and find that there are only two independent ones. We use…
We investigate the mass differences $\Delta M_{B_{d,s}}$ in the mixing $B^0_{d,s}-\bar B^0_{d,s}$ with a new up-like quark $t^{\prime}$ in the sequential fourth generation model. We give the basic formulae for $\Delta M_{B_{d,s}}$ in this…
In this article, we assume that there exists a scalar $D_s^\ast {\bar D}_s^\ast$ molecular state in the $J/\psi \phi$ invariant mass distribution, and study its mass using the QCD sum rules. The predictions depend heavily on the two…
We update the Standard-Model predictions for several quantities related to $B_s - \bar B_s$ and $B_d - \bar B_d$ mixing. The mass and width differences in the $B_s$ system read $ \Delta M_s^{\rm SM} = (17.3 \pm 2.6) ps^{-1}$ and $\Delta…
We extract directly (for the first time) the charmed (C=1) and bottom (B=-1) heavy-baryons (spin 1/2 and 3/2) mass-splittings due to SU(3) breaking using double ratios of QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) in full QCD, which are less sensitive…
Comparing the theoretically predicted and measured values of the mass difference of the $B^{0}_{s}$ system, we estimate the lower bound on the mass of the $Z^{\prime}$ boson of models based on the $SU(3)_{c} \otimes SU(3)_{L} \otimes…
The hadronic scalar molecules $\mathcal{M}_{b}$ and $\mathcal{M}_{c}$ with asymmetric quark contents $bb \overline{b}\overline{c}$ and $cc \overline{c} \overline{b}$ are explored by means of the QCD sum rule method. Their masses and current…
Encouraged by the agreement, with the recent LHCb data on the $D^-K^+$ invariant mass from $B \rightarrow D^+D^-K^+$ decay, of our results for the masses of the $0^+$ and $1^-$ open charm $(\bar c\bar d)(u s)$ tetraquarks and molecules…
