The external-field method has been used extensively in the QCD sum-rule approach to explore various hadron static properties. In the traditional formalism of this method, the transitions from the ground state hadron to excited states are…
We discuss the extraction of ground-state parameters, such as decay constants and form factors, from two- and three-point dispersive sum rules, making use of a quantum-mechanical potential model. This model provides a unique possibility to…
We present an extension of the QCD sum rule method in the external fields so as to determine the induced pseudoscalar coupling constant g_P, which tests the validity of the partially conserved axial current (PCAC) hypothesis. This is…
The QCD sum-rule method has been widely used in studying various baryon properties. For a given problem, there are usually more than one sum rules and they do not work equally well. In this paper, we point out that chirality plays an…
Standard QCD sum-rule analyses of the nucleon mass give results that are inconsistent with chiral perturbation theory due to an overly simple continuum ansatz on the phenomenological side of the sum rule. We show that a careful treatment of…
Recently, a QCD sum-rule analysis of tetraquark molecular states has been published, having the objective of demonstrating that our previously formulated tetraquark-adequate QCD sum rules are not correct. This comment brings to the…
Two new sets of QCD sum rules for the nucleon axial coupling constants are derived using the external-field technique and generalized interpolating fields. An in-depth study of the predicative ability of these sum rules is carried out using…
Two new QCD sum rules for nucleon tensor charge are derived from a mixed correlator of spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 nucleon interpolating fields. These sum rules are analyzed along with a sum rule obtained from the usual correlator of a general…
This work presents the results of our analysis of the accuracy of the pion form factor derived from the local-duality version of QCD sum rules.
A varying external field approach in QCD sum rules is formulated in a systematic way to treat the weak decay form factors and their $q^2$ dependence in the process of $B \to \rho \ell \bar\nu_\ell$. From the form factor sum rules, we can…
We use the transfer matrix formalism to derive non-perturbative sum rules in Wilson's lattice QCD with N_f flavours of quarks. The discretization errors on these identities are treated in detail. As an application, it is shown how the sum…
The calculation method of the hadron interaction vertex with constant external fields in QCD sum rules is discussed. The representation of the polarization operator in terms of physical states contributions is considered and the most…
By matching the world of hadrons to that of some effective chiral quark theory, we determine the induced condensates for QCD sum rules in the presence of an external pion field. The observed values of the strong and weak $\pi NN$ coupling…
The graphical method discussed previously can be used to create new gauges not reachable by the path-integral formalism. By this means a new gauge is designed for more efficient two-loop QCD calculations. It is related to but simpler than…
A general, and very basic introduction to QCD sum rules is presented, with emphasis on recent issues to be described at length in other papers in this volume of Modern Physics Letters A. Collectively, these papers constitute the proceedings…
The external-field QCD Sum Rules method is used to evaluate the coupling constant of the light isoscalar-scalar meson (``$\sigma$'' or \epsilon) to the nucleon. The contributions that come from the excited nucleon states and the response of…
In response to Kim's comment (nucl-th/9903040) on the sum rules for pion-baryon coupling constants obtained in hep-ph/9512259 and hep-ph/9606471, we point out that our treatment of the continuum is consistent with duality and with the fact…
In the conventional QCD sum rule calculation for the $\pi NN$ coupling beyond the soft-pion limit, there are three distinct Dirac structures, each of which can be used to construct separate sum rule. We point out subtleties in the previous…
Puzzled or surprised by the almost incredible accuracy occasionally claimed in the literature to be achievable for numerical outcomes of QCD sum-rule analyses, we scrutinized the usual procedure employed for the extraction of the parameters…
Confronted with some surprising claims about experimentally measured or theoretically expected dependencies on the involved momentum transfer of various form factors of pseudoscalar mesons, we reassess the present status of these quantities…
