QCD sum rules are studied for the vector-isovector current at finite baryon density in the limit of large number of colors N_c. For the condensate side it is shown that in this limit the four-quark condensate factorizes also for the finite…

QCD sum rules for positive and negative parity heavy baryons in the heavy quark limit are formulated. We apply the method to $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ channels. We include the next-to-leading order corrections in $\alpha_s$-expansion to…
We describe a theoretical approach to compute inclusive widths of heavy hadrons, based on a systematic expansion in the inverse powers of the heavy quark mass. The method reproduces quite well the experimental ratios of $B$ mesons…
We examine the radiative omega pi0etagamma and rho pi0etagamma decays in a phenomenological framework. We consider the VMD mechanism, chiral loops, intermediate a0-meson and rho−omega mixing. We find the values of the decay width…

We consider diagonal and non-diagonal QCD sum rules for the ground state heavy baryons to leading order in $1/m_Q$ and at next-to-leading order in $\alpha_S$. In the non-diagonal case we evaluate the eight different two-loop diagrams which…

The widths for pionic decays of lowest two excited doublets (0^+,1^+) and (1^+,2^+) of heavy mesons are studied with QCD sum rules in the leading order of heavy quark effective theory. The ambiguity due to presence of two distinct 1^+…
We use QCD sum rules to study the masses of the baryons $\Xi_c$ and $\Xi_b$. We work with a current where the strange and the light quarks are in a relative spin zero, at leading order in $\alpha_s$. We consider the contributions of…
The baryon self-energies are expressed in terms of the QCD condensates of the lowest dimension in symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter within the QCD sum-rule approach. The self-energies are shown to satisfy the Gell-Mann--Okubo…
Now that Lattice QCD calculations are beginning to include QED, it is important to better understand how hadronic properties are modified by finite-volume QED effects. They are known to exhibit power-law scaling with volume, in contrast to…

The $q^2$ dependence of the $\rho-\omega$ mixing amplitude is analyzed with the use of the QCD sum rules and the dispersion relation. Going off shell the mixing decreases, changes sign at $q^2 \simeq 0.4 m_{\rho}^2 > 0$ and is negative in…
