The physics of tau and charm started in early 70's after J/$\psi$ and $\tau$ were discovered. Since then several dedicated accelerators and experiments were built with increasing luminosities and studies on light hadron spectroscopy,…
An overview of the most important progresses in charm physics since the last CKM Workshop (2014) is presented. Due emphasis is given to the experimental measurements directly related to the CKM matrix.
After briefly recapitulating the history of the charm quantum number we sketch the experimental environments and instruments employed to study the behaviour of charm hadrons and then describe the theoretical tools for treating charm…
A biased review of recent results in charm physics is presented. New results on D0 anti-D0 mixing, rare decays of D0 and D+/-, scalar resonances in D+ and Ds decays, and new decay modes and mass measurements in Lambda_c, Xi_c, Omega_c, and…
We present a study of charm physics using RBC/UKQCD 2+1 flavour physical point domain wall fermion ensembles for the light quarks as well as for the valence charm quark. After a brief motivation of domain wall fermions as a suitable heavy…
Many new results on open and hidden charm spectroscopy have been obtained recently. We present a short review of the experimental findings in the meson sector, of the theoretical interpretations and of the open problems, with a discussion…

Moriond QCD brings together particle physicists of varied interests. This review and introduction to heavy flavour physics is aimed at those not in the heavy-flavour field to describe the motivation and methodology of precision flavour…
In tau physics, we are at the frontier between the completion of the LEP program and the start of analyses from b-factories, which are expected to produce results in the coming years. Nice results from CLEO are steadily delivered in the…
We investigate the charm sector of the nucleon structure phenomenologically, using the most up-to-date global QCD analysis. Going beyond the common assumption of purely radiatively generated charm, we explore possible degrees of freedom in…
We know that `our' Universe consists of `known' matter only $\sim$ 4.5\%: our understanding is incomplete seeing directly in neutrino oscillations (never mind about `other' Universes). Charm quarks had great impact on our understanding of…
Rare $B$-decays induced by flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNC) is one of the promising candidates for probing physics beyond the Standard model. However, for identifying potential new physics from the data, reliable control over QCD…
We introduce and discuss basic topics in the theory of kaons and charmed particles. In the first part, theoretical methods in weak decays such as operator product expansion, renormalization group and the construction of effective…
Flavour physics has a long tradition of paving the way for direct discoveries of new particles and interactions. Results over the last decade have placed stringent bounds on the parameter space of physics beyond the Standard Model. Early…
I discuss the exciting prospects for exploring a wide range of new physics at a low-energy muon collider.
We discuss recent achievements in light scalar mesons spectroscopy through amplitude analysis of charm particle decay and its consequences. The high statistics clean samples of charmed mesons, in addition to it's definite J^P and mass, is…
