We give arguments in favor of the compatibility with standard physics of some large nonleptonic branching fractions in Cabibbo--forbidden $D^+$ decays, contrary to a recent claim in the literature.
The scattering cross sections of charm mesons with hadrons such as the pion, rho meson, and nucleon are studied in an effective Lagrangian. In heavy ion collisions, rescattering of produced charm mesons by hadrons affects the invariant mass…
We shall proceed to discuss the significance of charm dynamics in an era when the Standard Model is well established in its degrees of freedom but little understood in quite a few of its different parts. The study of decays and asymmetries…

Results on light scalar mesons in charmed particle decays studied by the CLEO Collaboration at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring are reviewed.
The charmed baryon was first observed experimentally in 1975, one year after the charm quark's confirmation via the discovery of the $J/\psi$ particle. Studying charmed baryon decays provides a pathway to investigate both strong and weak…
