The full version of QCD light-cone sum rule method is applied to tetraquarks containing a single heavy $b$ or $c$ quark. To this end, investigations of the strong vertices $X_{b}X_{b}\rho$ and $X_{c}X_{c}\rho$ are performed, where…

Sum rules -- relating the static quark potential V(R) to the spatial distribution of the action and energy in the colour fields of flux-tubes -- are applied in three ways: 1) To extract generalised beta-functions: 2) As a consistency check…
We give an overview over recent calculations of baryonic correlator functions with finite mass quarks in view on their applicability for QCD sum rules. The QCD sum rule method is then demonstrated within the Heavy Quark Effective Theory.
The accurate calculation of weak heavy-to-light form factors is crucial for the determination of CKM matrix elements from experimental data on B decays. In SCET, the soft-collinear effective theory, these form factors can, in the heavy…
In this work, we investigate the semi-leptonic weak decays of spin-1/2 doubly-heavy baryons $\Xi_{QQ^{\prime}}$ into spin-3/2 singly-heavy baryons $\Sigma_{Q^{\prime}}^*$ within light-cone sum rules. Using the parallel components of the…
