The free energy density, or pressure, of QCD has at high temperatures an expansion in the coupling constant g, known so far up to order g^5. We compute here the last contribution which can be determined perturbatively, g^6 ln(1/g), by…
We show that a linear scaling between the weak decay constants of pseudoscalar and the vector mesons masses is supported by the available experimental data. The decay constant scale as $f_m/f_{pi}=M_V/M_{\rho}$ (f_m is decay constant and…
We discuss the strong coupling of heavy mesons to a pion g, in the heavy quark limit. This quantity is quite remarkable since its values as estimated by different methods (various quark models and the QCD sum rules), are surprisingly…
We study the strong vertices $N^*N\pi$, $N^*N^*\pi$ and $NN\pi$ in QCD, where $N^*$ denotes the negative parity $N (1535)$ state. We use the most general form of the interpolating currents to calculate the corresponding strong coupling…
We present the results of our lattice QCD study of the $g_{D^* D\pi}i$ coupling, relevant to the $D^\ast \to D\pi$ decay. Our computation is made on the gauge field configurations that include $N_f=2$ dynamical light quarks by using the…
In this paper we discuss effective strong coupling constants. Those are well behaved in the low-Q^2 domain, contrarily to alpha_s from pQCD. We present an extraction of an effective strong coupling constant from Jefferson Lab polarized data…
Using an analogy between Bogomol'nyi bound and the harmonic oscillator in quantum mechanics we propose a possible explanation of the coupling constant numerical value at the grand unification scale. It is found to be $1/8\pi$.
We compute the matching relation for the strong coupling constant within the framework of QCD up to four-loop order. This allows a consistent five-loop running (once the $\beta$ function is available to this order) taking into account…
The masses and decay constants of the ground state heavy $\chi_{Q2}(Q=b,c)$ tensor mesons are calculated in the framework of the QCD sum rules approach. The obtained results on the masses are in good consistency with the experimental…
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…
We study $\phi a_0\gamma$- and $\phi\sigma\gamma$-vertices in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules and we estimate the coupling constants g$_{\phi a_0\gamma}$ and g$_{\phi\sigma\gamma}$ utilizing $\omega\phi$-mixing. We compare our…
The decay constants of B, D and K mesons are computed in quenched lattice QCD at two different values of the coupling. The action and operators are O(a) improved with non-perturbative coefficients. The results are f_B=195(6)(+24/-23) MeV,…
The widths of the strong decays $Z_c^{+}(3900)\to J/\psi \pi^{+}$ and $Z_c^{+}(3900)\to \eta_{c} \rho^{+}$ are calculated. To this end, the mass and decay constant of the exotic $Z_c^{+}(3900)$ state are computed by means of a two-point sum…
In this article, with the assumption of explicit isospin violation arising from the $f_0(980)-a_0(980)$ mixing, we take the point of view that the scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ have both strange and non-strange quark-antiquark…
Updated predictions for the decay constants of the D, Ds, B and Bs mesons obtained from Borel QCD sum rules for heavy-light currents are presented and compared with the recent lattice averages performed by the Flavor Lattice Averaging…
We calculate the light pseudoscalar decay constants, f_pi and f_K, and their ratio using domain wall valence quarks and 2+1 flavors of dynamical staggered quarks. Use of the MILC gauge configurations allows us to simulate at several sea…
The determination of the Fermi coupling constant, G_F, is examined in the light of recently calculated 2-loop QED corrections and planned experiments to measure the muon lifetime to a level below 1ppm. The methods used in the calculation of…
We present a first attempt to experimentally extract an effective strong coupling constant that we define to be a low Q2 extension of a previous definition by S. Brodsky et al. following an initial work of G. Grunberg. Using Jefferson Lab…
We employ a variational basis with a number of $\bar{q}q$ and $\pi\pi$ lattice interpolating fields with quantum numbers of the $\rho$ resonance to extract the discrete energy spectrum in a finite volume. In the elastic region, this…
We reinvestigate the QCD sum rule for the pi NN coupling constant, g, starting from the vacuum-to-pion matrix element of the correlation function of the interpolating fields of two nucleons. We study in detail the physical content of the…
