The strange quark mass is determined from a QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) optimized to reduce considerably the systematic uncertainties arising from the hadronic resonance sector, as well as from the poor convergence of the pseudoscalar…
We derive QCD sum rules for heavy baryons at leading order in $1/m_Q$ and at next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. The calculation involves the evaluation of four different perturbative three-loop diagrams which determine the…

We describe the results of our recent work on the determination of the value of the parameter $\Lambda_{\overline{MS}}^{(4)}$ and of the $Q^2$-dependence of the Gross--Llewellyn Smith (GLS) sum rule from the experimental data of the CCFR…
Two new sum rules for the quark tensor charges of the nucleon are proposed, based on a relation connecting the quark transversity distributions to the quark helicity distributions and the quark model spin distributions, and on the sum rules…
This contribution presents the running triple-gluon-vertex coupling constant, g_lambda, in Hamiltonians for the gluons that are characterized by the size 1/lambda. The coupling constant is obtained from renormalization group equations for…
A novel procedure for extracting hadron characteristics from QCD sum rules, based on effective continuum thresholds (necessary for the implementation of quark-hadron duality) which may depend on the involved momenta and on the Borel…
We compute the quark and gluon condensates in $QCD$ with $N$ colors and $N_f$ flavors based on the renormalization group equations and on the knowledge of a single scale $\Lambda_{QCD}$. For $N=3$ and $N_f=3$ our findings are in the good…
I extract the strange-quark mass using a $\tau$-like decay sum rule for the $\phi$-meson, and some other sum rules involving its difference with the vector component of the hadronic $\tau$-decay. As a conservative estimate, one obtains to…
Scalar form factor of the nucleon is calculated in the framework of light cone QCD sum rules, using the most general form of the baryon current. Using the result on scalar form factor of the nucleon, the nucleon-scalar "sigma" and "a_0"…
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…
