Abstract

Motivated by recent experimental results on charm physics we investigate implications of the updated constraints of new physics in rare charm meson decays. We first reconsider effects of the MSSM in cuγc\to u \gamma constrained by the recent experimental evidence on ΔmD\Delta m_D and find, that due to the dominance of long distance physics, DVγD \to V \gamma decay rates cannot be modified by MSSM contributions. Then we consider effects of the extra heavy up vector-like quark models on the decay spectrum of D+π+l+lD^+ \to \pi^+ l^+ l^- and Ds+K+l+lD_s^+ \to K^+ l^+ l^- decays. We find a possibility for the tiny increase of the differential decay rate in the region of large dilepton mass. The R-parity violating supersymmetric model can also modify short distance dynamics in cul+lc \to u l^+ l^- decays. We constrain relevant parameters using current upper bound on the D+π+l+lD^+ \to \pi^+ l^+ l^- decay rate and investigate impact of that constraint on the Ds+K+l+lD_s^+ \to K^+ l^+ l^- differential decay dilepton distribution. Present bounds still allow small modification of the standard model differential decay rate distribution.
