We review the current status of heavy-quark symmetry and its applications to weak decays of
hadrons containing a single heavy quark. After an introduction to the underlying physical …

The generalized parton distributions, introduced nearly a decade ago, have emerged as a
universal tool to describe hadrons in terms of quark and gluonic degrees of freedom. They …

Methods to test QCD-inspired theoretical ideas on microscopic nuclear structure, in high-
energy hard lepton-nucleus reactions, are reviewed. Special attention is given to options at …

The pion form factor has been measured in the space-like q 2 region 0.014 to 0.26 (GeV/c) 2
by scattering 300 GeV pions from the electrons of a liquid hydrogen target. A detailed …

We suggest a modification of the QCD sum rules for three-point correlation functions that
relates hadron expectation values of an operator of interest to properties of the QCD vacuum …

Magnetic moments of a proton and a neutron are calculated in the QCD sum rule approach.
The substantial role of the external electromagnetic field induced vacuum expectation …

An introduction to the method of QCD sum rules is given for those who want to learn how to
use this method. Furthermore, we discuss various applications of sum rules, from the …

We give a modified perturbative expression for the pion electromagnetic form factor in
perturbative QCD, which includes Sudakov suppression of the elastic scattering of quarks …

In the past decade, due to the experimental observation of many charmonium-like states,
there has been a revival of hadron spectroscopy. In particular, the experimental observation …

We show that in a sufficiently strong magnetic field the QCD vacuum may undergo a
transition to a new phase where charged ρ±mesons are condensed. In this phase the …
