In the two years since HQL02, the long sought $j_{\ell}=1/2$ states have been observed. In the charmed non-strange sector, these states have the expected properties but, in the charmed strange sector, the states have masses below threshold…
We study charmed baryon resonances that are generated dynamically from a coupled-channel unitary approach that implements heavy-quark symmetry. Some states can already be identified with experimental observations, such as $\Lambda_c(2595)$,…
The charmed-strange meson spectrum is calculated with the overlap valence fermions on 2+1 flavor domain wall dynamical configurations for $32^3\times 64$ lattices with a spatial size of 2.7 fm. Both charm and strange quark propagators are…
We report on absolute lifetime measurements of charmed hadrons using the data collected by the Belle II experiment between 2019 and 2021. The measured lifetimes of $D^0$, $D^+$, and $\Lambda_c^+$ are the most precise to date and consistent…
Recent years have seen rapid developments in our knowledge and understanding of meson spectroscopy, especially in the charm quark sectors. In my invited overview I discussed some of these recent new developments, including theoretical…
We investigate the in-medium masses of open charm mesons ($D$($D^0$, $D^+$), $\bar{D}$($\bar{D^0}$, $D^-$), $D_s$(${D_{s}}^+$, ${D_{s}}^-$)) and charmonium states ($J/\psi$, $\psi(3686)$, $\psi(3770)$, $\chi_{c0}$, $\chi_{c2}$) in strongly…
BESIII experiment has collected a large data sample of charmonium, charm mesons, hyperons, and other light mesons. These data provide a unique opportunity to explore the dark sector beyond the Standard Model, particularly for dark sectors…
Belle and Belle II experiments have collected $e^+e^-$ collision data with center-of-mass energies at or near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. Using total $1.4\,\mathrm{ab}^{-1}$ combined dataset, we present new measurements of branching…
Recent results on open charm production at HERA are presented. Charm quarks are identified via the reconstruction of D-mesons. The charm contribution to the proton structure function is shown. Evidence for an exotic anti-charmed baryon…
The CDF II detector has the capability of triggering on displaced tracks. Because of this ability, CDF II has accrued large samples of charmed meson decays to fully hadronic final states in 64 pb^-1 of ppbar collision data gathered at…
We perform a comprehensive analysis of the role of nonperturbative (or intrinsic) charm in the nucleon, generated through Fock state expansions of the nucleon wave function involving five-quark virtual states represented by charmed mesons…
We present the energy spectra of the low lying doubly-charmed baryons using lattice quantum chromodynamics. We precisely predict the ground state mass of the charmed-strange Omega(cc) (1/2+) baryon to be 3712(11)(12) MeV which could well be…
Through the scattering of light-pseudoscalar mesons ($\pi,K,\eta,\eta'$) off charmed mesons ($D, D_s$), we study the $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)$ state and other relevant charm scalar mesons in a unitarized chiral effective field theory approach. We…
Spectroscopy and strong decays of the charmed baryons are reviewed. Possible spin-parity quantum numbers of several newly observed charmed baryon resonances are discussed. Strong decays of charmed baryons are analyzed in the framework of…
Until now, the first reported doubly charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{+}(3520)$ is still a puzzle. It was discovered and confirmed by SELEX collaboration, but not confirmed by LHCb, BABAR, BELLE, FOCUS, or any other collaboration. In the present…
We present recent results in the charm sector from the CLEO Collaboration. The data used were collected by the CLEO II and III detectors at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR). Measurements of form factors and branching fractions in…
The physics of charm has become one of the best laboratories exposing the limitations of the naive constituent quark model and also giving hints into a more mature description of meson spectroscopy, beyond the simple quark--antiquark…
The recent observation at CDF and D0 of $\Sigma_b$, $\Sigma^*_b$ and $\Xi_b$ baryons opens the door to the advent of new states in the bottom baryon sector. The states measured provide sufficient constraints to fix the parameters of…
BESIII has accumulated 4.5 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data in the 4.6 to 4.7 GeV energy range, corresponding to the world's largest sample of $\Lambda_c^+\bar{\Lambda}_c^-$ pairs. This paper summarizes recent BESIII results on…
Identifying the t-channel exchange of vector mesons as the driving force for the s-wave scattering of pseudo-scalar mesons off the baryon ground states, a surprisingly rich spectrum of molecules is formed. We argue that chiral symmetry and…
