We re-examine the estimates of the higher twist contributions to the integral of $g_1$, the polarised structure function of the nucleon, based on QCD sum rules. By including corrections both to the perturbative contribution and to the low…
In many years ago, Isgur and Llewellyn Smith addressed that PQCD is inapplicable to exclusive processes, such as the pion form factor.The main problem is that the asymptotic of PQCD is only about one fourth of the experimental value. We…
The strong coupling constant g_(Ko* K pi) of the scalar Ko* meson decay to (K pi) is calculated in light cone QCD sum rule. The predicted value of the coupling constant g_(Ko* K pi) is in a good agreement with the experimental result.
A new QCD calculation of the mass of the nucleon is presented. It makes use of a polynomial kernel in the dispersion integrals tailored to practically eliminate the contribution of the unknown 1=2+ and 1=2- continuum. This approach avoids…
We present an extension of the QCD sum rule method in the external fields so as to determine the induced pseudoscalar coupling constant g_P, which tests the validity of the partially conserved axial current (PCAC) hypothesis. This is…
We explore a modification of QCD sum rules where, instead of Borel transforms of current correlators, one considers the correlators in coordinate space as functions of Euclidean time. Taking the nucleon channel as an example, we derive such…
New QCD sum rules for nucleons in nuclear matter are derived from a mixed correlation function of spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 interpolating fields. These sum rules allow a determination of the scalar self-energy of the nucleon independent of the…
We critically evaluate the isovector GMO sumrule for the charged $\pi N N$ coupling constant using recent precision data from $\pi ^-$p and $\pi^-$d atoms and with careful attention to systematic errors. From the $\pi ^-$d scattering length…
The saturation of QCD chiral sum rules of the Weinberg-type is analyzed using ALEPH and OPAL experimental data on the difference between vector and axial-vector correlators (V-A). The sum rules exhibit poor saturation up to current energies…

We present a detailed investigation of the spacelike pion's electromagnetic form factor using three-point QCD sum rules that exclusively involve nonlocal condensates. Our main methodological tools are a spectral density which includes…
We discuss the QCD sum-rule approach for the spacelike electromagnetic pion form factor in the $O(\alpha_s)$ approximation. We show that the nonlocality of the condensates is a key point to include nonperturbative contributions to the pion…
We present results of a calculation of the electromagnetic pion form factor within the framework of QCD Sum Rules with nonlocal condensates, using a perturbative spectral density which includes $O(\alpha_s)$ contributions.
Starting from hyperbolic dispersion relations, we derive a system of Roy--Steiner equations for pion Compton scattering that respects analyticity, unitarity, gauge invariance, and crossing symmetry. It thus maintains all symmetries of the…
Global fits to the shape of the first QCD Laplace sum rule exhibiting sensitivity to pion-resonance [$\Pi (1300)$] parameters are performed, leading to predictions for the pion-resonance mass and decay constant. Two scenarios are considered…
We derive two new sum rules for the unpolarized doubly virtual Compton scattering process on a nucleon, which establish novel low-$Q^2$ relations involving the nucleon's generalized polarizabilities and moments of the nucleon's unpolarized…
