We investigate the purely non-factorizable $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Xi^{0}K^{+}$ decay using light-cone sum rules. To extract the decay amplitudes, a three-point correlation function is defined and calculated at hadron and quark-gluon level,…
Assuming $Y_{b}(10890)$ as a P-wave $bq$-scalar-diquark $\bar{b}\bar{q}$-scalar-antidiquark tetraquark state, the mass of $Y_{b}(10890)$ is computed in the framework of QCD sum rule method. Technically, contributions of operators up to…
The pp -> p K0 Sigma+ reaction was investigated with the TOF spectrometer at COSY at 3.059 GeV/c incident beam momentum. The main objective was to clarify whether or not a narrow exotic S = +1 resnance, the Theta+ pentaquark, is populated…
We underline a problem existing in the heavy quark limit of QCD concerning the rates of semileptonic B decays into P-wave $D_J(j)$ mesons, where $j = {1 \over 2}$ (wide states) or $j = {3 \over 2}$ (narrow states). The leading order sum…
In the present work, we adopt the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, axialvector and tensor (anti)diquark operators as the elementary building blocks to construct vector and tensor local four-quark currents without introducing explicit P-waves,…

In a diquark-diquark-antiquark picture of the pentaquark we study the decay $\Theta \to K^{+} n$ within the framework of QCD sum rules. After evaluation of the relevant three-point function, we extract the coupling $g_{\Theta nK}$ which is…
We set up sum rules for heavy lambda decays in a full QCD calculation which in the heavy quark mass limit incorporates the symmetries of heavy quark effective theory. For the semileptonic $\La_c$ decay we obtain a reasonable agreement with…

Three different ways of determining the strange quark mass using QCD sum rules are reviewed. First, from a QCD sum rule determination of the up and down quark masses, together with the current algebra ratio $ m_{s}/(m_{u}+m_{d})$. Second…
Correlations between the QCD coupling \alpha_s, the gluon condensate < \alpha_s G^2 >, and the c,b-quark running masses m_c,b in the MS-scheme are explicitly studied (for the first time) from the (axial-)vector and (pseudo)scalar charmonium…
In this article, we take the pseudoscalar, scalar, axialvector, vector, tensor (anti)diquark operators as the basic constituents, and construct the scalar, axialvector and tensor tetraquark currents to study the mass spectrum of the ground…
We present a new QCD sum rule with high sensitivity to the continuum regions of charm and bottom quark pair production. Combining this sum rule with existing ones yields very stable results for the MS-bar quark masses, m_c(m_c) and…
Evidence for a narrow baryon state at 1528 +- 2.6(stat) +- 2.1(syst) MeV is presented in quasi-real photoproduction on a deuterium target through the decay channel p,K0 to p,pi+,pi-. The statistical significance of the peak in the p,K0…
