Fermilab experiment E791 studied weak decays of D+, D_s, and D^0 mesons produced in collisions of 500 GeV/c negative pions with Pt and C targets. The experiment collected over 200,000 fully reconstructed charm decays. Four recent results…
The interaction between pseudoscalar and/or vector mesons can be studied using hidden gauge Lagrangians. In this framework, the interaction between charmed mesons has been studied. Furthermore, doubly charmed states are also predicted.…
The study of mesons and baryons which contain at least one charm quark is referred to as open charm physics. It offers the possibility to study up-type quark transitions. Since the $c$ quark can not be treated in any mass limit, theoretical…
Recent progress in lattice calculations of properties of open-charm mesons, both regular and exotic, is reviewed, with an emphasis on spectroscopy. After reviewing recent calculations of excited state energy levels I will discuss progress…
A brief overview of charm scalar resonances is given. It is demonstrated that experimental data on the D_s^{*+}gamma and D_s^+pi^0 decays of D_{s0}^+(2317) favor its assignment to the I_3=0 component of iso-triplet four-quark mesons. The…
The nonleptonic weak decays of charmed mesons into a scalar meson and a pseudoscalar meson are studied. The scalar mesons under consideration are $\sigma$ [or $f_0(600)$], $\kappa$, $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$ and $K^*_0(1430)$. A consistent…
We analyze charm meson semileptonic decays using the measured ratios $\Gamma_L/\Gamma_T$ and $\Gamma_{+}/\Gamma_{-}$ from $D\to {\bar K}^{*}$ and the branching ratios for $D \to {\bar K}^{*}$ and $D \to {\bar K}$. First we introduce the…
Interpretation of D-meson decay-dynamics has revealed itself to be strongly dependent on our understanding of the light-meson sector. The interplay becomes particularly evident in Dalitz plot analyses to study physics within and beyond the…

We report results on the Dalitz analysis of three-body charmless B+=>K+Pi+Pi- and B+=>K+K+K- decays based on a 140 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected with the Belle detector. Measurements of branching fractions for quasi-two-body decays to…
New data on the decays of the charmed particles $D^0$, $D^+$, and $D_s$ to $PV$ final states consisting of a light pseudoscalar meson $P$ and a light vector meson $V$ are analyzed. Following the same methods as in a previous analysis of $D…
Effects of final-state interactions in nonleptonic decays of charmed mesons are studied in the framework of quark-diagram approach. For the case of u-d-s flavour symmetry we discuss how the inelastic coupled-channel rescattering effects…
