Comparison between two strictly local QCD sum rules
Two strictly local QCD sum rules, analytic extrapolation by conformal mapping and analytic continuation by duality, are developed and presented in full detail. They allow the extrapolation of the QCD amplitude to a single point near zero in the complex {ital q}{sup 2} plane. Being orthogonal to the usual QCD sum rules, they present a drastic enlargement of phenomenological applications. In addition, the stability of both methods is shown explicitly, a fact which makes them particularly reliable. The difference between the two methods is illustrated in connection with the determination of the hadronic ({ital g}{minus}2) factor of the muon. Their effectiveness is demonstrated in the calculati…
Method of analytic continuation by duality in QCD: Beyond QCD sum rules
We present the method of analytic continuation by duality which allows the approximate continuation of QCD amplitudes to small values of the momentum variables where direct perturbative calculations are not possible. This allows a substantial extension of the domain of applications of hadronic QCD phenomenology. The method is illustrated by a simple example which shows its essential features.
Calculation of the kaon B parameter using strictly local sum rules
The kaon B-parameter is computed in the framework of strictly local QCD sum rules for a threepoint function involving pseudoscalar currents. As an application of these sum rules we derive a low energy formula for the B-parameter. We show that strictly local QCD sum rules yield more reliable results than other QCD sum rules, since they need less phenomenological information and do not suffer from stability problems. Our result for the B-parameter isB=0.74±0.17.
