The possibility of using charm meson physics to test the Standard Model (SM) is reviewed. In the case of $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing, the SM contributions are carefully considered and the existence of a window for the observation of new physics…
Five anticommuting property coordinates can accommodate all the known fundamental particles in their three generations plus more. We describe the points of difference between this scheme and the standard model and show how flavour mixing…
In this talk I present my personal summary of the progress on the determination of the masses of the neutrinos and of the leptonic flavour mixing from the combined analysis of the experimental results.
A charmed quark experiences drag and diffusion in the quark-gluon plasma, as well as strong interaction with the plasma surface. Our simulations indicate that charmed quarks created in heavy ion collisions will be trapped in the mixed phase…

The charm quark's mass is determined from Monte Carlo calculations of the $\bar{c}c$ spectrum. The main sources of uncertainty are perturbation theory (for conversion to $\MSbar$), the continuum-limit extrapolation, Monte Carlo statistics,…
We present benchmark points for LHC searches from flavored gauge mediation models, in which messenger-matter couplings give flavor-dependent squark masses. Our examples include spectra in which a single squark - stop, scharm, or sup - is…
Large production of the $\ccbar$ pairs and high integrated luminosity make the PEPII B-Factory, an excellent place for studying the charm hadrons. In this paper, we present a few of the most recent results from the BaBar collaboration in…
