We present a sum-rule extraction of heavy-meson decay constants from the two-point correlator of heavy-light pseudoscalar currents. Our main concern is to control the uncertainties of the decay constants, induced by both input QCD…

We discuss an application of QCD sum rules to the heavy baryons $\Lambda_Q$ and $\Sigma_Q$. The predictions for the masses of heavy baryons, residues and Isgur-Wise function are presented. The new results on two loop anomalous dimensions of…
The in-medium masses of the pseudoscalar open charm ($D$, $\bar D$, $D_s$ and $\bar {D_s}$) and open bottom ($B$, $\bar B$, $B_s$ and $\bar {B_s}$) mesons in hot asymmetric strange hadronic matter are studied within a QCD sum rule approach.…
We use QCD Laplace sum-rules to predict masses of open-flavour heavy-light hybrids where one of the hybrid's constituent quarks is a charm or bottom and the other is an up, down, or strange. We compute leading-order, diagonal correlation…
The measured masses of the three charge states of the charmed $\Sigma_c$ baryon are found to be in disagreement with a sum rule based on the quark model, but relying on no detailed assumptions about the form of the interaction. This poses a…
The spectrum of baryons with two heavy quarks is predicted, assuming a configuration of a light quark and a heavy diquark. The masses are computed within a semirelativistic quark model, using a potential obtained in the framework of the…

In the heavy quark limit, hadrons appear as eigenstates of the light degrees of freedom under the static color field of the heavy quark. In this formalism, the weak form factors appear naturally as the overlaps of the initial and final…
