We present flavor SU(3) sum rules for $D \to PP$ and $D \to PV$ decay amplitudes, that are valid to second order in symmetry breaking by the strange quark mass spurion. Decay rate sum rules are also computed to this order. Particular…
Diquarks with $J^{P}=0^{\pm}$, $1^{\pm}$ containing a heavy (charm or bottom) quark and a light quark are investigated using QCD Laplace sum rules. Masses are determined using appropriately constructed gauge invariant correlation functions,…
We first extract the binding energy $\bar \Lambda$ and decay constants of the D wave heavy meson doublets $(1^{-},2^{-})$ and $(2^{-},3^{-})$ with QCD sum rule in the leading order of heavy quark effective theory. Then we study their pionic…
Parameters of the heavy four-quark scalar meson $T_{\mathrm{bc\overline{b} \overline{c}}}$ with content $bc \overline{b}\overline{c}$ are calculated by means of the sum rule method. This structure is considered as a diquark-antidiquark…
QCD sum rules are analytic predictions of hadron observables from quantum chromodynamics. In the so-called local-duality limit of their Borel-transformed form, all nonperturbative contributions are encompassed by just a single quantity, an…
We explicitly check quark-hadron duality to order $(m_b-m_c)\Lambda/m_b^2$ for $b \to c l\nu$ decays in the limit $m_b-m_c \ll m_b$ including ground state and orbitally excited hadrons. Duality occurs thanks to a new sum rule which…
We study semileptonic sum rules for $b \to c \tau \overline{\nu}$ transitions involving orbitally excited charm hadrons. Starting from the amplitude-level relation implied by the heavy quark symmetry, we construct sum rules relating these…
Applying the QCD sum-rule machinery in the so-called local-duality shape to heavy-light mesons reveals that, as a consequence of the non-zero mass gap between up and down quarks, the leptonic decay constants of the neutral and charged…
We investigate the weak decays of $\bar B_{s}^{0}$ and $\Lambda_{b}$ to charm hadrons based on the dynamical supersymmetry between the $\bar s$ quark and the $ud$ diquark. We derive a new sum rule relating the decay rates of the processes…
The properties of open strange meson $K_1^\pm$ in nuclear matter are estimated in the QCD sum rule approach. We obtain a relation between the in-medium mass and width of $K_1^-$ ($K_1^+$) in nuclear matter, and show that the upper limit of…
Gaussian sum-rules, which are related to a two-parameter Gaussian-weighted integral of a hadronic spectral function, are able to examine the possibility that more than one resonance makes a significant contribution to the spectral function.…
The spectroscopic parameters of the heavy-light hybrid mesons with different spin-parities and different quark contents are investigated in the framework of the QCD sum rule method. The mass and current coupling of these states are…
The power correction, surviving the zero quark mass limit and found earlier to restore the validity of Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule, provides the contribution to the Bjorken sum rule as well. The leading perturbative correction to the…
Corrections to the exact heavy--quark symmetry results are expected to follow the $1/m_{Q}$ mass effect of the heavy--quark. We show, by an explicit calculation, that there is something other than the mass effect that suppresses the…
The mass spectra of doubly heavy baryons are systematically calculated in the framework of QCD sum rules. With a tentative heavy-diquark--light-quark configuration, the interpolating currents representing the doubly heavy baryons are…
We present a sum-rule extraction of the decay constants of heavy-light mesons from the two-point correlator of pseudoscalar currents. To this end, we compare the perturbative expansions for the correlator and the decay constant performed in…
Lepton flavor universality is a key prediction of the Standard Model of particle physics and any violation of it immediately indicates the existence of new physics. Given the recent more than $4\sigma$ discrepancy in charged current…
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 possible in-medium changes of the properties of an omega meson placed in cold nuclear matter are constrained by QCD sum rules. It is shown that the sum rules cannot fully determine the in-medium spectral shape of the omega meson.…
Phenomenologically motivated Lie-algebraic sum rules determine the representations of unbroken SU(2)_L X SU(2)_R filled out by mesons containing a single heavy quark, in the limit that the heavy quark mass goes to infinity. This…
