We study the $\sigma$ meson in QCD sum rules using a two quark interpolating field with derivatives. In the constituent quark model, the $\sigma$ meson is composed of a quark and an antiquark in the relative p-wave state and is thus…

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…
