We derive two sum rules by studying the low energy Compton scattering on a target of arbitrary (nonzero) spin j. In the first sum rule, we consider the possibility that the intermediate state in the scattering can have spin |j \pm 1| and…

The method of light-cone QCD sum rules is applied to the calculation of the form factors of $\gamma^*\rho \to \pi$ and $\gamma^*\gamma \to \pi^0$ transitions. We consider the dispersion relation for the $\gamma^*(Q^2)\gamma^*(q^2) \to…
We evaluate the forward Compton scattering off the proton, based on Kramers-Kronig kind of relations which express the Compton amplitudes in terms of integrals of total photoabsorption cross sections. We obtain two distinct fits to the…
The forward Compton scattering off the proton is determined by substituting the empirical total photoabsorption cross sections into dispersive sum rules. In addition to the spin-independent amplitude evaluated previously [Phys. Rev. D 92,…
We revisit the photo-absorption sum rule for real Compton scattering from the proton and from nuclear targets. In analogy with the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn sum rule appropriate at low energies, we propose a new "constituent quark model" sum rule…
We present an analysis of QCD sum rules for pion form factor in next-to-leading order of perturbation theory for the case of axial-vector pion currents. The theoretical predictions for Q^2-dependence of pion form factor are in good…
A new analysis of baryon sum rules is done with modern values of parameters and known perturbative corrections. The restriction for gluon and quark condensates and the new value of nucleon coupling constant are found.
The Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov and Bjorken sum rules are special examples of dispersive sum rules for the spin-dependent structure function G_1(\nu, Q^2) at Q^2=0 and \infty. We generalize these sum rules through studying the virtual-photon…
