In these lectures, I present several important applications of QCD sum rules to the decay processes involving heavy-flavour hadrons. The first lecture is introductory. As a study case, the sum rules for decay constants of the heavy-light mesons are considered. They are relevant for the leptonic decays of $B$-mesons. In the second lecture I describe the method of QCD light-cone sum rules used to calculate the heavy-to-light form factors at large hadronic recoil, such as the $Bto pi ell u_ell$ form factors. In the third lecture, the nonlocal hadronic amplitudes in the flavour-changing neutral current decays $Bto K^{(*)}ellell$ are discussed. Light-cone sum rules provide important nonfactorizable contributions to these amplitudes.
We briefly report the modern status of heavy quark sum rules (HQSR) based on stability criteria by emphasizing the recent progresses for determining the QCD parameters (alpha_s, m_{c,b} and gluon condensates)where their correlations have been taken i
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 bottomiu
It is argued that it is valid to use QCD sum rules to determine the scalar and pseudoscalar two-point functions at zero momentum, which in turn determine the ratio of the strange to non-strange quark condensates $R_{su} = frac{<bar{s} s>}{<bar{q} q>}
We test the validity of the QCD sum rules applied to the light scalar mesons, the charmed mesons $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1} (2460)$, and the X(3872) axial meson, considered as tetraquark states. We find that, with the studied currents, it is possible
The QCD up- and down-quark masses are determined from an optimized QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) involving the correlator of axial-vector current divergences. In the QCD sector this correlator is known to five loop order in perturbative QCD (PQCD
