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 $m_Z=(4.40pm0.10) GeV$ in a very good agreement with the experimental value. We also make predictions for the analogous mesons $Z_{s}$ and $Z_{bb}$ considered as $D_s^*D_1$ and $B^*B_1$ molecules respectively. For $Z_{s}$ we predict $m_{Z_{s}}= (4.70pm 0.06) {rm GeV}$, which is above the $D_s^*D_1$ threshold, indicating that it is probably a very broad state and, therefore, difficult to be experimentally seen. For $Z_{bb}$ we predict $m_{Z_{bb}}= (10.74pm 0.12) {rm GeV}$, in agreement with quark model predictions.
The pion-baryon sigma terms and the strange-quark condensates of the octet and the decuplet baryons are calculated by employing the method of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) sum rules. We evaluate the vacuum-to-vacuum transition matrix elements of two baryon interpolating fields in an external isoscalar-scalar field and use a Monte Carlo-based approach to systematically analyze the sum rules and the uncertainties in the results. We extract the ratios of the sigma terms, which have rather high accuracy and minimal dependence on QCD parameters. We discuss the sources of uncertainties and comment on possible strangeness content of the nucleon and the Delta.
In the present work, the temperature dependence of the scalar mesons parameters is investigated in the framework of thermal QCD sum rules. We calculate sigma-pole and the non-resonant two-pion continuum contributions to the spectral density. Taking into account additional operators appearing at finite temperature, the thermal QCD sum rules are derived. The temperature dependence of the shifts in the mass and leptonic decay constant of scalar sigma(600) meson is calculated.
We evaluate the pion-nucleon and the pion-Delta sigma terms by employing the method of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) sum rules. The obtained value of the pion-nucleon sigma term is compatible with the larger values already anticipated by the recent calculations. It is also found that the pion-Delta sigma term is as large as the pion-nucleon sigma term.
By using the quark part of the energy-momentum tensor current, the gravitational formfactors of the $ rho $ meson are calculated within the light-cone sum rules method. In the considered version, the energy-momentum tensor current is not conserved and as a result, there appear nine formfactors, six (three) of which correspond to the conservation (nonconservation) of the energy-momentum tensor current. We also compare our results with the one existing in the literature.
We test the validity of the QCD sum rules applied to the meson $Z^+(4430)$, by considering a diquark-antidiquark type of current with $J^{P}=0^{-}$ and with $J^{P}=1^{-}$. We find that, with the studied currents, it is possible to find an acceptable Borel window. In such a Borel window we have simultaneously a good OPE convergence and a pole contribution which is bigger than the continuum contribution. We get $m_Z=(4.52pm0.09)GeV$ and $m_Z=(4.84pm0.14)GeV$ for the currents with $J^{P}=0^{-}$ and $J^{P}=1^{-}$ respectively. We conclude that the QCD sum rules results favors $J^{P}=0^{-}$ quantum numbers for the $Z^+(4430)$ meson.
