The gauge invariant two-point correlator for the gluon field strength tenso
r is analysed by means of the QCD sum rule method. To this end, we make use
of a relation of this correlator to a two-point function for a quark-gluon
hybrid in the limit of the quark mass going to infinity. From the sum rule
s a relation between the gluon correlation length and the gluon condensate
is obtained.
