We report on our first set of results for charm physics, using a mixed-action setup with maximally twisted valence fermions on CLS $N_f=2+1$ ensembles. This setup avoids the need of improvement coefficients to subtract $O(am_c)$ effects.…
Weak decays of charm mesons has been used for studies of light quark spectroscopy, with particular emphasis on the J^{PC}=0^{++} states. Recent results on light scalars are summarized and some conceptual issues are discussed, especially the…
The Belle II experiment is under construction at the KEK laboratory in Japan. Belle II will study e+e- collisions at or near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the goal of collecting 50 ab-1 of data, which is a large increase over that recorded…
We present a mini-review on charm spectroscopy at the BaBar experiment. We first report on the $c\bar{s}$ meson spectrum, and present precise measurements of the $D_{s1}(2536)$ meson as well as the properties of the many new states…
A survey of recent results in charm physics from CDF is presented.
After sketching heavy quark expansions as applied to heavy flavour decays I emphasize the relevance of nonperturbative dynamics at the charm scale for exclusive $b\to c$ modes. I address the issue of quark-hadron duality for charm and…
The usage of polarimetry and spin-correlation tests to determine the {\em complete Lorentz structure} of the tau lepton's charged and neutral-current couplings is reviewed. The emphasis is on tests for ``something'' in a $(V-A) + $…
I will argue that the same kind of reasoning, which led us to predict the opening of a new chapter in hadron physics, may shed some light on the existence of new physics at the as yet unexplored energy scales of LHC.
Selected results from tau analyses performed using the BaBar detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are presented. A precise measurement of the tau mass and the tau{+} tau{-} mass difference is undertaken using the hadronic…
In this presentation, I discussed a) the charm total cross-section and its comparisons to measurements at other beam energies and pQCD calculations; b) the semileptonic decay of charmed hadrons and the sensitivity of non-photonic leptons to…
IceCube Neutrino Astronomy is considered. The tau neutrino flavor paucity and the asymmetry for the tracks suggest a dominant atmospheric charm noise. The correlated cascades and tracks asymmetry with relevant statistics enforce the charm…
A large amount of new results have been presented at TAU2006. The highlights of the workshop, the present status of a few selected topics on lepton physics (universality, QCD tests, V_{us} determination from tau decay, g-2, neutrino…
We present the results of a search for new particles decaying to tau pairs using the data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 195 pb^-1 collected from March 2002 to September 2003 with the CDF detector at the Tevatron. Hypothetical…
The next 20 years will be the golden age of flavour physics, with the operation of the LHCb and Belle II experiments. After that an $e^+e^-$ collider could further improve the precision with sizeable $Z$, $W^+W^-$ and $t\bar{t}$ runs.
Exotic charmonium and bottonomium resonances recently discovered are discussed and interpreted as diquark-antidiquark states containing a pair of charm quarks and a pair of light, up and down, quarks. Successes, shortcomings and predictions…
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the J/{\psi}, the first charmonium state observed, I start with a brief review of major progresses on the QCD inspired quark potential model originated from charmonium spectrum.Then I…
We study rare decays of Charm in NSIs. We calculate the NSIs Branching ratios of these decays. There is a strong dependence of these on new physics parameter. They provide, stringent constraints on free parameter in tau.
Light and charmed hadrons are produced copiously in ep collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV at HERA. Results of the ZEUS Collaboration on pentaquark searches, deuteron and antideuteron production and charmed-meson…
The status of heavy quark expansions for charm and beauty lifetime ratios is reviewed. Taking note of the surprising semiquantitative success of this description for charm hadrons I interprete the new data on $\tau (D_s)$ and re-iterate the…
Anomalies from the LHCb lepton flavour universality and Fermilab muon anomalous magnetic momentum, show tantalizing hints of possible new physics from the lepton sectors. Due to its large mass and shorter lifetime than muon, the tau lepton…
