New physics contributions to B_s-\bar{B}_s mixing can be parametrized by the size (r_s^2) and the phase (2\theta_s) of the total mixing amplitude relative to the Standard Model amplitude. The phase has so far been unconstrained. We first…
The \Sigma^0-\Lambda mixing angle in isospin-asymmetric nuclear medium is investigated by using QCD sum rules. From the general consideration of the in-medium baryonic correlations, in-medium baryon mixings are shown to have several Lorentz…
In this article, we calculate the mass modifications of the vector and axial-vector mesons $D^*$, $B^*$, $D_1$ and $B_1$ in the nuclear matter with the QCD sum rules, and obtain the mass-shifts $\delta M_{D^*}=-71 \rm{MeV}$, $\delta…
We systematically investigate the mass spectra of $\{Q\bar{s}\}\{\bar{Q}^{(')}s\}$ molecular states in the framework of QCD sum rules. The interpolating currents representing the molecular states are proposed. Technically, contributions of…
QCD Laplace transform sum rules, involving the axial-vector current divergences, are used in order to determine the strange quark mass. The two-point function is known in QCD up to four loops in perturbation theory, and up to dimension-six…
QCD sum rules are used to estimate the flavour SU(3)-symmetry violation in two-body B decays to pions and kaons. In the factorizable amplitudes the SU(3)-violation manifests itself in the ratio of the decay constants f_K/f_pi and in the…

We predict contributions of higher $K$-resonances to the radiative rare decays $b\to s\gamma$, in the framework of the QCD sum rules on the light cone, which combines the traditional QCD sum rule method with the description of final state…
We show that the sum rule recently proved by Uraltsev in the heavy quark limit of QCD holds in relativistic quark models \`a la Bakamjian and Thomas, that were already shown to satisfy Isgur-Wise scaling and Bjorken sum rule. This new sum…
We use QCD sum rules to test the nature of the meson X(3872), assumed to be a mixture between charmonium and exotic molecular [c\bar{q}][q\bar{c}] states with J^{PC}=1^{++}. We find that there is only a small range for the values of the…
