The trace amplitude method (TAM) provides us a straightforward way to calculate the helicity amplitudes with massive fermions analytically. In this work, we review the basic idea of this method, and then discuss how it can be applied to next-to-leading order (NLO) quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations, which has not been explored before. By analyzing the singularity structures of both virtual and real corrections, we show that the TAM can be generalized to NLO QCD calculations straightforwardly, the only caution is that the unitarity should be guaranteed. We also present a simple example to demonstrate the application of this method.

We make a detailed study on the $D_s$ meson leading-twist LCDA $phi_{2;D_s}$ by using the QCD sum rules within the framework of the background field theory. To improve the precision, its moments $langle xi^nrangle _{2;D_s}$ are calculated up to dimension-six condensates. At the scale $mu = 2{rm GeV}$, we obtain: $langle xi^1rangle _{2;D_s}= -0.261^{+0.020}_{-0.020}$, $langle xi^2rangle _{2;D_s} = 0.184^{+0.012}_{-0.012}$, $langle xi^3rangle _{2;D_s} = -0.111 ^{+0.007}_{-0.012}$ and $langle xi^4rangle _{2;D_s} = 0.075^{+0.005}_{-0.005}$. Using those moments, the $phi_{2;D_s}$ is then constructed by using the light-cone harmonic oscillator model. As an application, we calculate the transition form factor $f^{B_sto D_s}_+(q^2)$ within the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) approach by using a right-handed chiral current, in which the terms involving $phi_{2;D_s}$ dominates the LCSR. It is noted that the extrapolated $f^{B_sto D_s}_+(q^2)$ agrees with the Lattice QCD prediction. After extrapolating the transition form factor to the physically allowable $q^2$-region, we calculate the branching ratio and the CKM matrix element, which give $mathcal{B}(bar B_s^0 to D_s^+ ell u_ell) = (2.03^{+0.35}_{-0.49}) times 10^{-2}$ and $|V_{cb}|=(40.00_{-4.08}^{+4.93})times 10^{-3}$.
Method of polarized semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) data analysis in the next to leading order (NLO) QCD is developed. Within the method one first directly extracts in NLO few first truncated (available to measurement) Mellin moments of the quark helicity distributions. Second, using these moments as an input to the proposed modification of the Jacobi polynomial expansion method (MJEM), one eventually reconstructs the local quark helicity distributions themselves. All numerical tests demonstrate that MJEM allows us to reproduce with the high precision the input local distributions even inside the narrow Bjorken $x$ region accessible for experiment. It is of importance that only four first input moments are sufficient to achieve a good quality of reconstruction. The application of the method to the simulated SIDIS data on the pion production is considered. The obtained results encourage one that the proposed NLO method can be successfully applied to the SIDIS data analysis. The analysis of HERMES data on pion production is performed. To this end the pion difference asymmetries are constructed from the measured by HERMES standard semi-inclusive spin asymmetries. The LO results of the valence distribution reconstruction are in a good accordance with the respective leading order SMC and HERMES results, while the NLO results are in agreement with the existing NLO parametrizations on these quantities.
The meson spectroscopy is studied in the framework of the QCD string model. The mesons are composed of spinless quarks which move relativistically. We show that the QCD string model reproduces the straight line Regge trajectories and exibit the correct string slopes for both light-light and heavy-light mesons. We also present the exact numerical solution and the analytic approximation solution of the QCD string equations for the light-light mesons under the deep radial limit. We demonstrate that the QCD string model describes the universal relations for the light-light and heavy-light meson spectroscopies correctly from the comparison of the exact numerical solutions of the QCD string model for both light-light and heavy-light mesons.
We present a new scheme for extracting approximate values in ``the improved perturbation method, which is a sort of resummation technique capable of evaluating a series outside the radius of convergence. We employ the distribution profile of the series that is weighted by nth-order derivatives with respect to the artificially introduced parameters. By those weightings the distribution becomes more sensitive to the ``plateau structure in which the consistency condition of the method is satisfied. The scheme works effectively even in such cases that the system involves many parameters. We also propose that this scheme has to be applied to each observables separately and be analyzed comprehensively. We apply this scheme to the analysis of the IIB matrix model by the improved perturbation method obtained up to eighth order of perturbation in the former works. We consider here the possibility of spontaneous breakdown of Lorentz symmetry, and evaluate the free energy and the anisotropy of space-time extent. In the present analysis, we find an SO(10)-symmetric vacuum besides the SO(4)- and SO(7)-symmetric vacua that have been observed. It is also found that there are two distinct SO(4)-symmetric vacua that have almost the same value of free energy but the extent of space-time is different. From the approximate values of free energy, we conclude that the SO(4)-symmetric vacua are most preferred among those three types of vacua.
In this paper, we make a detailed discussion on the $eta$-meson leading-twist light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) $phi_{2;eta}(u,mu)$ by using the QCD sum rules approach under the background field theory. Taking both the non-perturbative condensates up to dimension-six and the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the perturbative part, its first three moments $langlexi^n_{2;eta}rangle|_{mu_0} $ with $n = (2, 4, 6)$ can be determined, where the initial scale $mu_0$ is set as the usual choice of $1$ GeV. Numerically, we obtain $langlexi_{2;eta}^2rangle|_{mu_0} =0.204_{-0.012}^{+0.008}$, $langlexi_{2;eta}^4 rangle|_{mu_0} =0.092_{ - 0.007}^{ + 0.006}$, and $langlexi_{2;eta}^6 rangle|_{mu_0} =0.054_{-0.005}^{+0.004}$. Next, we calculate the $D_stoeta$ transition form factor (TFF) $f_{+}(q^2)$ within the QCD light-cone sum rules approach up to NLO level. Its value at the large recoil region is $f_{+}(0) = 0.484_{-0.036}^{+0.039}$. After extrapolating the TFF to the allowable physical region, we then obtain the total decay widthes and the branching fractions of the semi-leptonic decay $D_s^+toetaell^+ u_ell$, i.e. $Gamma(D_s^+ toeta e^+ u_e)=(31.197_{-4.323}^{+5.456})times 10^{-15}~{rm GeV}$, ${cal B}(D_s^+ toeta e^+ u_e)=2.389_{-0.331}^{+0.418}$ for $D_s^+ toeta e^+ u_e$ channel, and $Gamma(D_s^+ toetamu^+ u_mu)=(30.849_{-4.273}^{+5.397})times 10^{-15}~{rm GeV}$, ${cal B}(D_s^+ toetamu^+ u_mu)=2.362_{-0.327}^{+0.413}$ for $D_s^+ toetamu^+ u_mu$ channel respectively. Those values show good agreement with the recent BES-III measurements.
