We report the first observation of the line shape of the $\Lambda(1405)$ from electroproduction, and show that it is not a simple Breit-Wigner resonance. Electroproduction of $K^+ \Lambda(1405)$ off the proton was studied by using data from…
QCD sum rules involving mixed inverse moment integration kernels are used in order to determine the running charm-quark mass in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme. Both the high and the low energy expansion of the vector current correlator are involved…
We construct the interpolating currents for the fourteen p-wave excited heavy baryons in the framework of heavy quark effective theory (HQET). At the leading order in the 1/m_Q expansion these interpolating currents do not mix different…
We study the exotic $\Delta^{0}\Delta^{0}$ dibaryon state with quantum numbers $J^{P} = 2^{+}$ within the framework of QCD sum rules. A tensor interpolating current is constructed to determine the mass and residue of this state, including…
Based on the diquark configuration, we construct the diquark-antidiquark interpolating tetraquark currents with $J^{PC}=1^{-\pm}$ and $1^{+\pm}$, which can couple to the scalar and pseudoscalar tetraquark states respectively, since they are…
We compute the QCD form factor resumming threshold logarithms in B --> X_c + l + nu_l decays to next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. We present an interpolation formula including soft as well as collinear effects softened by the…
We present an update on our previous determination of the Lambda parameter in QCD. The main emphasis is on results for two flavours of light dynamical quarks, where we can now almost double the amount of data used, including values at…
The concept of QCD sum rules is extended to bound states composed of particles with finite mass such as scalar quarks or strange quarks. It turns out that mass corrections become important in this context. The number of relevant corrections…
We extend our earlier lattice-QCD analysis of heavy-quark correlators to smaller lattice spacings and larger masses to obtain new values for the c mass and QCD coupling, and, for the first time, values for the b mass:…
Light-cone sum rules are used to investigate the electromagnetic form factors of the $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ baryons by using the Ioffe type interpolating currents. The sum rules are affected to some extent by the choice of the interpolating…
We present a new QCD sum rule with high sensitivity to the continuum regions of charm and bottom quark pair production. Combining this sum rule with existing ones yields very stable results for the MS-bar quark masses, m_c(m_c) and…
We pursue a new method, based on lattice QCD, for determining the quantities $\bar{\Lambda}$, $\lambda_1$, and $\lambda_2$ of heavy-quark effective theory. We combine Monte Carlo data for the meson mass spectrum with perturbative…
The gauge invariant two-point correlator for the gluon field strength tensor is analysed by means of the QCD sum rule method. To this end, we make use of a relation of this correlator to a two-point function for a quark-gluon hybrid in the…
Contributions of fermions to the mass of the scalar glueball $0^{++}$ are calculated at two-loop level in the framework of QCD sum rules. It obviously changes the coefficients in the operator product expansion (OPE) and shifts the mass of…
We present a precise lattice QCD determination of the b-quark mass, of the B and Bs decay constants and first preliminary results for the B-mesons bag parameter. Simulations are performed with Nf = 2 Wilson twisted mass fermions at four…
The present study provides spectroscopic investigations of spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ $\Lambda$ baryons with both positive and negative parities. The analysis mainly focuses on three states, namely $1P$, $2P$, and $2S$, and corresponding masses are…
We use QCD sum rules to study the recently observed meson $Z^+(4430)$, considered as a $D^*D_1$ molecule with $J^{P}=0^{-}$. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension eight and work at leading order in $\alpha_s$. We get…
In this article, we study the charmed baryon states $\Lambda_c(2625)$ and $\Xi_c(2815)$ with the spin-parity ${3\over 2}^-$ by subtracting the contributions from the corresponding charmed baryon states with the spin-parity ${3\over 2}^+$…
We propose a new approach to construct QCD sum rules for the pi NN coupling constant, g, starting from the vacuum-to-pion correlation function of the interpolating fields of two nucleons and taking its matrix element with respect to nucleon…
Masses for $\{Q\bar{q}\}\{\bar{Q}^{(')}q\}$ molecular states are systematically studied in QCD sum rules. The interpolating currents representing the related molecular states are proposed. Technically, contributions of the operators up to…
