A visible improvement of the QCD sum-rule framework, achieved only recently by a slightly more sophisticated consideration of the hadron excitations and continuum, is applied to the extraction of the decay constants of heavy-light…
Double hard scattering can play an important role for producing multiparticle final states in hadron-hadron collisions. The associated cross sections depend on double parton distributions, which at present are only weakly constrained by…
Sum rules have played an important role in the development of many branches of physics since the earliest days of quantum mechanics. We present examples of one-dimensional quantum mechanical sum rules and apply them in two familiar systems,…
If connecting properties of a multiquark hadron with those exhibited by its constituents, QCD sum rules inferred along the routes of traditional wisdom necessarily involve contributions not related at all to and thus not presenting…
We present an overview of a novel approach to the QCD Light-Cone Sum Rule method, employing $B$-meson Light-Cone Distribution Amplitudes. This method circumvents the semi-global quark-hadron duality (QHD) approximation, which can introduce…
We have studied the charmonium and bottomonium hybrid states with various $J^{PC}$ quantum numbers in QCD sum rules. At leading order in $\alpha_s$, the two-point correlation functions have been calculated up to dimension six including the…
It is argued that it is valid to use QCD sum rules to determine the scalar and pseudoscalar two-point functions at zero momentum, which in turn determine the ratio of the strange to non-strange quark condensates $R_{su} = \frac{<\bar{s}…
Gaussian sum-rules relate a QCD prediction to a two-parameter Gaussian-weighted integral of a hadronic spectral function, providing a clear conceptual connection to quark-hadron duality. In contrast to Laplace sum-rules, the Gaussian…
We extend a recent sum rule calculation for inelastic quarkonium-hadron interactions to realistic parton distribution functions; we also include finite target-mass corrections. Both modifications are shown to have no significant effect on…
Arguments in favor of a large magnitude ( at least two- three times bigger than its factorized value) of the mixed vacuum condensate $ \la \bar{q}G_{\mu\nu}^a G_{\mu\nu}^a q \ra$ are given. The analysis is based on the strict inequalities…
We present a novel approach for investigating the spin structure of hadrons based on the two-point function in quantum field theory. In a rotating frame, we derive two independent expressions of the two-point function and identify their…
The ALEPH data on the vector and axial-vector spectral functions, extracted from tau-lepton decays is used in order to test local and global duality, as well as a set of four QCD chiral sum rules. These are the Das-Mathur-Okubo sum rule,…
Taking into account the gluon condensate contributions, the form factors of the semileptonic $B_c^- \to D^{*0}\ell\nu$ transition with $l=\tau, e$ are calculated in the framework of the three point QCD sum rules. The heavy quark effective…
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…
The $H^*H\pi$ form factor for H = B and D mesons is evaluated in a QCD sum rule calculation. We study the Borel sum rule for the three point function of two pseudoscalar and one vector meson currents up to order four in the operator product…
We compute the nonleptonic weak decay width of a heavy-light meson in 1+1 spacetime dimensions with a large number of QCD colors (the 't Hooft model) as a function of the heavy quark mass. In this limit, QCD is exactly soluble, and decay…

We consider the ratios of doubly heavy baryon masses using Double Ratios of Sum Rules (DRSR), which are more accurate than the usual simple ratios used for getting hadron masses. Our results are comparable with the ones from potential…
HQET currents with the quantum numbers of the ground-state baryons are discussed. One-loop anomalous dimensions are calculated, and exact one-loop matching to QCD currents is found. Two-point correlators of these currents are calculated…
Sum rules for twist-3 distributions are reexamined. Integral relations between twist-3 and twist-2 parton distributions suggest the possibility for a $\delta$-function at $x=0$. We confirm and clarify this result by constructing $h_L$ and…
