Can one control systematic errors of QCD sum rule predictions for bound states?

Abstract

We study the possibility to control systematic errors of the ground-state parameters obtained by Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (SVZ) sum rules, making use of the harmonic-oscillator potential model as an example. In this case, one knows the exact solution for the polarization operator, which allows one to obtain both the OPE to any order and the parameters (masses and decay constants) of the bound states. We determine the parameters of the ground state making use of the standard procedures of the method of QCD sum rules, and compare the obtained results with the known exact values. We show that in the situation when the continuum contribution to the polarization operator is not known and is modelled by an effective continuum, the method of sum rules does not allow to control the systematic errors of the extracted ground-state parameters.
