What QCD sum rules tell about the rho meson ∗

Using a simple parametrization of Breit-Wigner type for the hadronic side of the QCD sum rule for ρ mesons in vacuum as well as in a nuclear medium we explore the range of values for the mass and the width of the ρ meson which are compatible with the operator product expansion. PACS numbers: 24.85.+p, 21.65.+f, 12.38.Lg, 14.40.Cs Typeset using REVTEX ∗Work supported by GSI Darmstadt and BMBF.
