Hadronic tau decay data is used to study the reliability of various finite energy sum rules (FESR's). For intermediate scales (of order 2-3 GeV^2), those FESR's with weights s^k are found to have significant errors, whereas those with…
We propose a new approach in QCD sum rules applied for exotic hadrons with a number of quarks, exemplifying the pentaquark Theta^{+} (I=0,J=1/2) in the Borel sum rule. Our approach enables reliable extraction of the pentaquark properties…
The light quark masses are determined using a new QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) in the pseudoscalar channel. This FESR involves an integration kernel designed to reduce considerably the contribution of the (unmeasured) hadronic…
Tau-based finite-energy sum-rule (FESR) analyses often assume that scales $s_0\sim m_\tau^2$ are large enough that (i) integrated duality violations (DVs) can be neglected, and (ii) contributions from non-perturbative OPE condensates of…
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…
QCD Laplace sum-rules for light-quark I=0,1 scalar currents are used to investigate candidates for the lightest $q\bar q$ scalar mesons. The theoretical predictions for the sum-rules include instanton contributions which split the…
We use the Laplace/Borel sum rules (LSR) and the finite energy/local duality sum rules (FESR) to investigate the non-strange $ud\bar u\bar d$ and hidden-strange $us\bar u\bar s$ tetraquark states with exotic quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{+-}$…

In this paper, we reanalyze the $I=0$ scalar channel with the improved Monte-Carlo based QCD sum rules, which combines the rigorous H\"older-inequality-determined sum rule window and a two Breit-Wigner type resonances parametrization for…
The strange quark mass is determined from a new QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) optimized to reduce considerably the systematic uncertainties arising from the hadronic resonance sector. As a result, the main uncertainty in this…
The analysis of the sum rules (for two differentchoices of 5-quark currents) indicate that to explain experimental results it is necessary to have some one-particle lower state (and pentaquark is a reliable candidate to this state) while…
We study the exotic $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ four-quark states in Laplace sum rules (LSR) and finite energy sum rules (FESR). We use the vector tetraquark-like currents as interpolating currents in the correlator, from which the $1^{+-}$ states are…
The up and down quark masses are determined from an optimized QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) involving the correlator of axial-vector divergences, to five loop order in Perturbative QCD (PQCD), and including leading non-perturbative QCD…
Motivated by the LHCb-group discovery of exotic hadrons in the range (6.2 $\sim$ 6.9) GeV, we present new results for the masses and couplings of $0^{++}$ fully heavy $(\bar{Q}Q)(Q\bar{Q})$ molecules and $(QQ)(\overline{QQ})$ tetraquaks…
There is a need to go beyond the narrow resonance approximation for QCD sum-rule channels which are likely to exhibit sensitivity to broad resonance structures. We first discuss how the first two Laplace sum rules are altered when one goes…
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…
Using the Laplace sum rule (LSR) approach, which is less affected by the contribution of the higher mass hadronic states than the Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR), we test the reliability of the existing estimate of the $K^0$-$\overline {K}^0$…
We apply the method of QCD sum rules to study the structure $X$ newly observed by the BESIII Collaboration in the $\phi \eta^\prime$ mass spectrum in 2.0-2.1 GeV region in the $J/\psi \rightarrow \phi \eta \eta^\prime$ decay. We construct…
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…
