So far, the behavior of the pionic leading-twist distribution amplitude (DA) $\phi_{2;\pi}(x,\mu)$ $-$ which is universal physical quantity and enters the high-energy processes involving pion based on the factorization theorem $-$ has not…

We develop a QCD sum rule analysis of the form factor $F_{\gamma^*\gamma^*\pi^0}(q^2,Q^2)$ in the region where virtuality of one of the spacelike photons is small $q^2 \ll 1 GeV^2$ while another is large: $Q^2 \gapprox 1 GeV^2$. We…

We use QCD sum rules to obtain the weak parity-violating pion-nucleon coupling constant $f_{\pi NN}$. We find that $f_{\pi NN}\approx 3\times 10^{-8}$, up to an order of magnitude smaller than the ``best estimates" based on quark models.…
