We report on a measurement of D0-D0bar mixing and a search for CP violation in the D0->K+K-, pi+pi- and K+-pi-+ channels. We use D0's coming from D*+ decays, so that the flavour of the D0 at production is tagged by the charge of the pion…
We have searched for mixing in the D0-D0bar system by measuring the decay-time distribution of D0->K+pi- decays. The analysis uses 90 fb^{-1} of data collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. We fit the decay-time…
We report the results of a search for D0-D0bar mixing in D0 -> K+ pi- decays based on 400 fb^{-1} of data accumulated by the Belle detector at KEKB. Both assuming CP conservation and allowing for CP violation, we fit the decay-time…

We discuss recent CLEO results on D0-D0bar and B0d-B0dbar mixing. The principal results are that for the D0 system, allowing for CP violations, the mixing amplitude x'<2.9% (95% C.L.), and for the B0d system, chi=0.198+-0.013+-0.014. We…
We present results of a search for $D^0$-$\kern 0.2em\bar{\kern -0.2em D}{}^0$~mixing and a measurement of $R_{\rm D}$, the ratio of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays to Cabibbo-favored decays, based on an analysis of $D^0 \to K^{+}\pi^{-}$…
Recent BaBar measurements on lifetime and mixing of B mesons are reported. Various techniques are used, ranging from the full reconstruction of hadronic B decays, to partial reconstruction techniques, and to a totally inclusive approach…
With 12.3 fb-1 collected by the BaBar experiment in 2001, the mixing parameter y = Delta(Gamma)/(2 Gamma) is determined from the ratio of the D0 lifetimes measured in the D0 --> K- pi+ and in the D0 --> K- K+ decay modes. The preliminary…

An overview of selected experimental results in the field of $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ oscillations is presented. The average results for the mixing parameters, $x=(0.89\pm{0.26\atop 0.27})%$ and $y=(0.75\pm{0.17\atop 0.18})%$, exclude the…
The search for $D^0\bar{D}^0$ mixing may carry a large discovery potential for new physics since the $D^0\bar{D}^0$ mixing rate is expected to be small in the Standard Model. This paper gives a brief review of the experimental techniques…
The BaBar and Belle collaborations have recently reported evidence for $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing. This measurement provides the first significant constraint on FCNC in the up-quark sector for non-universal $Z^\prime$ models. Attributing the…
Based on an 87-fb$^{-1}$ dataset collected by the Babar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$-Factory, a search for $D^{0}$--$\bar{D}^{0}$ mixing has been made using the semileptonic decay modes $D^{*+} \to \pi^{+} D^{0}, D^{0} \to…
The noteworthy BaBar and Belle evidence for $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ mixing motivates us to study its impact on $D^0\to K^{*\pm} K^\mp$ decays and their CP-conjugate processes. We show that both the $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameters ($x$ and…
Three searches for rare decays of the charmed $D^0$ meson are presented: a search for $D^0 \to \ell^+\ell^-$ published by the BaBar collaboration using about 468 fb$^{-1}$ of data and two searches for $D^0 \to \gamma\gamma$, one published…
