In traditional QCD sum rules, the simple hadron spectral density model of ``delta-function-type ground state + theta-function-type continuous spectrum" determines that there is no perfect parameter selection. In recent years, inverse…
Vector mesons show up in the electromagnetic current-current correlator. QCD sum rules provide a constraint on hadronic models for this correlator. This constraint is discussed for the case of finite nuclear density concerning the…
The exclusive semileptonic heavy baryon decay \Lambda_b\to p l\bar\nu is investigated using light-cone sum rule method in both full QCD and HQET. The form factors describing the decay are calculated and used to predict the decay width and…
The lightest meson, the pion, features two faces -- one is the elementary Goldstone boson of QCD and the other is the structured bound state of quarks and gluons. To accommodate both in a single light-front wave function in the valence…
We underline a problem existing in the heavy quark limit of QCD concerning the rates of semileptonic B decays into P-wave $D_J(j)$ mesons, where $j = {1 \over 2}$ (wide states) or $j = {3 \over 2}$ (narrow states). The leading order sum…
The form factors of the semileptonic $B\to \pi\pi\ell\bar\nu$ decay are calculated from QCD light-cone sum rules with the distribution amplitudes of dipion states. This method is valid in the kinematical region, where the hadronic dipion…
We have analyzed the $B\to \pi $ and $B_{s}\to K$ semileptonic form factors and $B\to V\gamma (V=K^*,\rho,\omega)$ processes in the light-cone QCD sum rules. In order to enhance the predictivity and reliability of numerical results the…
We investigate semileptonic sum rules in heavy-to-light charm decays, motivated by analogous relations in $b \to c$ and $b \to u$ transitions. Focusing on the $c \to d\overline{\ell}\nu$ decays, $D \to \pi\overline{\ell}\nu$, $D \to…
We revisit QCD sum rules for the decay constants of heavy-light mesons. In the sum rules for the vector mesons B^*_(s) and D^*_(s) we improve the accuracy of OPE, taking into account the O(alpha_s^2) terms in the perturbative part and…
In this work we derive sum rules for orbital angular momentum(OAM) resolved electron magnetic chiral dichroism (EMCD) which enable the evaluation of the strength of spin and orbital components of the atomic magnetic moments in a crystalline…
The quark condensate in nuclear matter contains a term of order $\rho m_\pi$, arising from the contribution of low-momentum virtual pions to the $\pi N$ sigma commutator. Standard treatments of QCD sum rules for a nucleon in matter generate…
Recent developments in the uses of QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) for heavy flavours are summarized and updated. QSSR results are compared with the existing data and with the ones from alternative approaches.
The Das-Mathur-Okubo (DMO) sum rule for the polarizability of charged pions is evaluated for the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model Lagrangian in both its minimal and extended forms. A comparison is made with the results obtained using the same sum…

The operator product expansion (OPE) for the difference of vector and axial current correlators is analyzed for complex values of momentum q^2. The vector and axial spectral functions, taken from hadronic tau-decay data, are treated with…
Tau-based finite-energy sum-rule (FESR) analyses often assume that scales $s_0\sim m_\tau^2$ are large enough that (i) integrated duality violations (DVs) can be neglected, and (ii) contributions from non-perturbative OPE condensates of…
Experimental data on the total cross section of $e^+ e^-$ annihilation into hadrons are confronted with QCD and the operator product expansion using finite energy sum rules. Specifically, the power corrections in the operator product…
