QCD sum-rules are related to an integral of a hadronic spectral function, and hence must satisfy integral inequalities which follow from positivity of the spectral function. Development of these Holder inequalities and their application to…
One of the advantages of the finite energy sum rules is the fact that every operator in the operator product expansion series can be selected individually by the use of an appropriate kernel function which removes other operator poles. This…
We present a systematic study of the masses of light excited $q\bar{q}$ mesons using QCD sum rules at next-to-leading order (NLO). To probe excited states, we construct several interpolating currents with covariant derivatives inserted. The…
