We set the scene for theoretical issues in charm physics that were discussed at CHARM 2016 in Bologna. In particular we emphasize the importance of improving our understanding of standard model contributions to numerous charm observables…
50 years after the discovery of the first charmed particle, charm physics continues to be an extremely lively field of research and a cornerstone in particle physics. The study of charm, with its unique properties, is characterised by many…
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…
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 hadron spectroscopy. Recent discoveries are a challenge that…
We closed the CHARM 2007 workshop with a lively panel discussion on the future of the field. This document presents a summary of the key points, and a lightly edited transcript of the discussion itself.
This is part I of a two-part review of charm physics. 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…
We review recent developments in charm physics, focusing on the physics of charmed mesons. We discuss charm spectroscopy, decay constants, as well as searches for new physics with charmed mesons. We discuss D0-anti-D0 mixing and…
New results on properties and decays of open charm and charmonium states are reviewed. The emphasis is on examples that illustrate the various aspects through which studies of charm physics impact the field.
This paper gives an overview of charm physics. It is a lecture write-up aimed at students with a minimum of prior knowledge in particle physics, but at the same time provides a state-of-the art review of the field. The main focus is on…
In this talk I would like to discuss two aspects of charm physics. One is to show that many standard model predictions for rare decay modes (along with $D^0 -\bar{D}^0$ mixing and CP violation) are extremely small thus opening a window for…
Detailed studies of weak charm decays fill an important {\em future} role in high energy physics. Chief among them are: (i) validating the theoretical control achieved over hadronization as a worthwhile goal in its own right; (ii)…
In this invited presentation I review some recent developments in the theory of charmonium that appear likely to be of importance for future experimental studies in this field. The specific areas considered are double charmonium production,…
Progress in charm physics has been prodigious over the last twenty years; it comes both from fixed target and collider experiments, and can guide us toward future investigations. To fully exploit the power of flavor physics, complications…

A perspective on charm physics, emphasizing recent developments, future prospects, and the interplay with lattice QCD.
This paper is aimed at giving a complete review of the latest (post-1998 Physics in Collision conference) experimental results on charm physics.
The CHARM 2010 meeting had over 30 presentations of experimental results, plus additional future facilities talks just before this summary talk. Since there is not enough time even to summarize all that has been shown from experiments and…
To provide focus to my review of charm theory at the B-Physics and CP-Violation conference, I consider theoretical issues related to possible charm studies at B-factories. A few topics of interest to the author are stressed -- rare decays,…
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…
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.
