Proper construction of the continuum in light-cone QCD sum rules
  A proper way of subtracting the continuum contributions in light-cone QCD sum rules (LCQSR) is demonstrated. Specifically, we calculate the continuum corresponding to a typical OPE appearing in LCQSR by properly combining the double dispersion relation with QCD duality. We demonstrate how the subtraction terms can spuriously contribute to the sum rules. In the limit of zero external momentum, taking out the spurious continuum is found to yield the sum rules using the single-variable dispersion relation. The continuum factor constructed in this way differs from the one appearing in usual LCQSR. The difference substantially affects the extraction of hadronic parameters from the correlation function involving baryon currents.
