A brief review of the problem of the determination of light-quark masses from QCD sum rules for the correlators of scalar and pseudoscalar currents is given. Special attention is paid to the description of the large-$N_f$ results, obtained…
In this work, the mass of the strange quark is calculated from QCD sum rules for the divergence of the strangeness-changing vector current. The phenomenological scalar spectral function which enters the sum rule is determined from our…
These lectures contain an elementary introduction to heavy quark symmetry and the heavy quark expansion. Applications such as the expansion of heavy meson decay constants and the treatment of inclusive and exclusive semileptonic B decays…
Recent achievements in the heavy quark theory are critically reviewed. The emphasis is put on those aspects which either did not attract enough attention or cause heated debates in the current literature. Among other topics we discuss (i)…
Different decompositions (sum rules) for the proton mass have been proposed in the literature. All of them are related to the energy-momentum tensor in quantum chromodynamics. We review and revisit these decompositions by paying special…
The status of lattice calculations of heavy-light decay constants and of the $B$ parameter $B_B$ is reviewed. After describing the lattice approach to heavy quark systems, the main results are discussed, with special emphasis on the…
Frequently, theoretical discussions of multiquark hadron states prove to be contaminated or even dominated by contributions of conventional hadrons. For the approach to QCD bound states in terms of QCD sum rules, we show how to get rid of…
We examine the radiative $\Delta \to \gamma N$ transition at the real photon point $Q^2=0$ using the framework of light-cone QCD sum rules. In particular, the sum rules for the transition form factors $G_M(0)$ and $R_{EM}$ are determined up…
We obtain the non-perturbative interaction kernel of the heavy-light quark system in a gauge-invariant approach. The potential and the sum rules limit are discussed. Some insight is given in the light quark interaction.
For the purpose of consistent notation and easy reference the most important relations in light-cone quantization are compiled from a recent review (Brodsky, Pauli Pinsky, Physics Reports 301 (1998) 299), where all further details and…
We set up sum rules for heavy lambda decays in a full QCD calculation which in the heavy quark mass limit incorporates the symmetries of heavy quark effective theory. For the semileptonic $\La_c$ decay we obtain a reasonable agreement with…
We review the current status of heavy quark symmetry and its applications to weak decays of hadrons containing a single heavy quark. After an introduction to the underlying physical ideas, we discuss in detail the formalism of the heavy…
We describe a light-cone QCD sum rule calculation of the $B_s\to f_0(980)$ transition form factors useful to predict the branching ratios of the rare decays $B_s \to f_0 \ell^+ \ell^-$, $B_s \to f_0 \nu \bar \nu$ and of $B_s\to J/\psi f_0$…
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…
QCD sum rules for decay constants of heavy mesons with $u$ or $d$ quark yield for $B$ mesons much less isospin breaking than lattice QCD but good agreement for $D$ mesons.
We review the present status for the determinations of the light and heavy quark masses, the light quark chiral condensate and the decay constants of light and heavy-light (pseudo)scalar mesons from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR). Bounds on…
There may be a link between the quantum properties of the vacuum and the parameters describing the properties of light propagation, culminating in a sum over all types of elementary particles existing in Nature weighted only by their…
Sum rules are derived relating mean squared charge radii of the pseudoscalar mesons with the convergent integral of the difference of hadron photoproduction cross-sections on pseudoscalar mesons.
I briefly introduce the theoretical frameworks for studies of two-body hadronic $B$ meson decays, which include the factorization assumption, the QCD-improved factorization, the perturbative QCD, the soft-collinear effective theory, the…
The weak decays of doubly heavy $\Xi_{QQ}$ baryon induced by flavor changing $b \to d$ and $ c \to u$ flavor changing neutral current within the light cone sum rules are studied. Using the parallel components of the light cone distribution…
