Finite energy QCD sum rules involving nucleon current correlators are used to determine several QCD and hadronic parameters in the presence of an external, uniform, large magnetic field. The continuum hadronic threshold $s_0$, nucleon mass $m_N$, current-nucleon coupling $lambda_N$, transverse velocity $v_perp$, the spin polarization condensate $langlebar qsigma_{12} qrangle$, and the magnetic susceptibility of the quark condensate $chi_q$, are obtained for the case of protons and neutrons. Due to the magnetic field, and charge asymmetry of light quarks up and down, all the obtained quantities evolve differently with the magnetic field, for each nucleon or quark flavor. With this approach it is possible to obtain the evolution of the above parameters up to a magnetic field strength $eB < 1.4$ GeV$^2$.
One of the advantages of the finite energy sum rules is the fact that every operator in the operator product expansion series can be selected individually by the use of an appropriate kernel function which removes other operator poles. This characteristic is maintained by QCD systems in the presence of external homogeneous magnetic field, providing interesting information about the magnetic evolution of QCD and hadronic parameters. In this work finite energy sum rules are applied on QCD in the light quark sector, combining axial and pseudoscalar channels in the presence of an external homogeneous magnetic field, obtaining the magnetic evolution of the light quark masses, pion mass, the pion decay constant, the gluon condensate and the continuum hadronic threshold.
We calculate the form factors and the coupling constant in the $D^{*}D rho $ vertex in the framework of QCD sum rules. We evaluate the three point correlation functions of the vertex considering both $ D $ and $ rho $ mesons off--shell. The form factors obtained are very different but give the same coupling constant: $g_{D^{*}D rho} = 4.1 pm 0.1$ GeV$^{-1}$.
Using the QCD sum rules we test if the charmonium-like structure Y(4260), observed in the $J/psipipi$ invariant mass spectrum, can be described with a $J/psi f_0(980)$ molecular current with $J^{PC}=1^{--}$. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension six and we work at leading order in $alpha_s$. We keep terms which are linear in the strange quark mass $m_s$. The mass obtained for such state is $m_{Y}=(4.67pm 0.09)$ GeV, when the vector and scalar mesons are in color singlet configurations. We conclude that the proposed current can better describe the Y(4660) state that could be interpreted as a $Psi(2S) f_0(980)$ molecular state. We also use different $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ currents to study the recently observed $Y_b(10890)$ state. Our findings indicate that the $Y_b(10890)$ can be well described by a scalar-vector tetraquark current.
The $H^*Hpi$ form factor for H = B and D mesons is evaluated in a QCD sum rule calculation. We study the Borel sum rule for the three point function of two pseudoscalar and one vector meson currents up to order four in the operator product expansion. The double Borel transform is performed with respect to the heavy meson momenta. We discuss the momentum dependence of the form factors and two different approaches to extract the $H^*Hpi$ coupling constant.
We report results of our recent works [1,2] where we where the correlations between the c,b-quark running masses{m}_{c,b}, the gluon condensate<alpha_s G^2> and the QCD coupling alpha_s in the MS-scheme from an analysis of the charmonium and bottomium spectra and the B_c-meson mass. We use optimized ratios of relativistic Laplace sum rules (LSR) evaluated at the mu-subtraction stability point where higher orders PT and D< 6-8-dimensions non-perturbative condensates corrections are included. We obtain [1] alpha_s(2.85)=0.262(9) and alpha_s(9.50)=0.180(8) from the (pseudo)scalar M_{chi_{0c(0b)}}-M_{eta_{c(b)}} mass-splittings at mu=2.85(9.50) GeV. The most precise result from the charm channel leads to alpha_s(M_tau)=0.318(15) and alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1183(19)(3) in excellent agreement with the world average: alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1181(11)[3,4]. Updated results from a global fit of the (axial-)vector and (pseudo)scalar channels using Laplace and Moments sum rules @ N2LO [1] combined with the one from M_{B_c} [2] lead to the new tentative QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) average : m_c(m_c)|_average= 1266(6) MeV and m_b(m_b)|_average=4196(8) MeV. The values of the gluon condensate <alpha_s G^2> from the (axial)-vector charmonium channels combined with previous determinations in Table 1, leads to the new QSSR average [1]: <alpha_s G^2>_average=(6.35pm 0.35)x 10^{-2} GeV^4. Our results clarify the (apparent) discrepancies between different estimates of <alpha_s G^2> from J/psi sum rule but also shows the sensitivity of the sum rules on the choice of the mu-subtraction scale. As a biproduct, we deduce the B_c-decay constants f_{B_c}=371(17) MeV and f_{B_c}(2S)< 139(6) MeV.
