Abstract
En 中文
A new Monte-Carlo based uncertainty analysis is introduced to quantitatively determine the predictive ability of QCD sum rules. A comprehensive analysis of ground state rho-meson and nucleon spectral properties is performed. Many of the findings contradict the conventional wisdom of both practitioners and skeptics alike. Associations between the phenomenological fit parameters are particularly interesting as they reveal how the sum rules resolve the spectral properties. The use of derivative sum rules for the determination of rho-meson spectral properties is shown to be a very unfavorable approach. Most prior nucleon sum rule analyses are based on a sum rule which is found to be invalid; the results are suspect, and should be reevaluated. The ''Ioffe formula,'' argued by many to qualitatively encapsulate a description of the nucleon mass in terms of the chiral symmetry breaking order parameter [(q) over bar q] is misleading at best. QCD sum rules are found to be self-consistent without contributions from direct instantons. This implies that instanton effects are adequately accounted for in the nonperturbative vacuum condensates. This in-depth examination of QCD sum rule self consistency paints a favorable picture for further quantitative refinements of the QCD sum rule approach. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
