We apply the method of QCD sum rules to study the \(QQ\bar{Q}\bar{q}\) and \(QQ\bar{Q}\bar{s}\) tetraquark states, where $Q=c,b$ and $q=u,d$, with the quantum number \(J^P = 0^{+}\). We consider the contributions of vacuum condensates up to…

Considered as a function of the quark mases, two-flavor QCD depends on three parameters, including one that is CP violating. As the masses vary to unphysical values, regions of both first- and second-order phase transitions are expected.…

The large mass limit of QCD uncovers symmetries that are not present in the QCD lagrangian. These symmetries have been applied to physical (finite mass) systems, such as B and D mesons. We explore the validity of this approximation in the…
The determination of quark masses has been transformed in the past few years by accurate results from realistic lattice QCD. This has meant a range of new methods for both b and c quarks which I will describe along with results from…

The method of QCD sum rules has proven to be particularly useful in heavy quark physics, where a small distance scale is provided by the inverse heavy quark mass. We present two new examples for the application of this method to B-physics:…
