About 2.9 fb$^{-1}$ data set had been collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. Taking advantages of data near open-charm threshold, we present preliminary results on leptonic and semileptonic charm-meson decays, as well as…
In this talk, we present the recent results of charm physics from the BESIII experiment. It covers the studies of the pure leptonic and semi-leptonic decays of charmed hadrons, from which the |Vcs| are precisely determined and the LFU is…
Interpretation of D-meson decay-dynamics has revealed itself to be strongly dependent on our understanding of the light-meson sector. The interplay becomes particularly evident in Dalitz plot analyses to study physics within and beyond the…
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)…
This paper is aimed at giving a complete review of the latest (post-1998 Physics in Collision conference) experimental results on charm physics.
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…
The recent progress in our understanding of heavy-flavour decays allows us to define more reliably which future measurements on charm decays are needed to further advance our understanding of QCD and to get our theoretical tools ready for…
The first period of the Tevatron Run II has been dominated by low-Pt physics. Both detectors, and their trigger/DAQ systems have been largely modified to exploit as much as possible the large wealth of charm and beauty hadrons produced by…
This is a summary of experimental results on photons, leptons, and heavy quarks presented at Quark Matter 2008. A first measurement of the bottom to charm contribution to the lepton spectrum has given experimental indication for the…
In this paper, we review recent progress in the field of semileptonic decays of charm mesons, including topics on the relative branching ratio and the form factors. The comparison between the experimental form factor measurements and the…
The way a charm-quark fragments into a charmed hadron is a challenging problem both for the theoretical and the experimental particle physics. Moreover, in neutrino induced charm-production, peculiar processes occur such as quasi-elastic…
A wealth of new data in charmed particle physics allows the testing of flavor symmetry and the extraction of key amplitudes. Information on relative strong phases is obtained.
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…
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…
After reviewing the motivation for high-statistics charm studies, we describe a fixed-target experiment capable of reconstructing $>10^8$ charm decays. Such an experiment can test the Standard Model and probe non-Standard physics through…
We present recent results on charm physics from CLEO-III, emphasizing QCD and hadronic structure. These include the decay $\Xi_c^0\to pK^-K^-\pi^+$ and the form factor for $D^0\to\pi^-e^+\nu_e$. We also discuss upcoming measurements with…
We review some recent developments in charm meson physics. In particular, we discuss theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of charmed meson decays to leptonic, semileptonic, and hadronic final states and implications of such…
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…
The CHORUS experiment was designed to search for $\nu_{\mu}\to \nu_{\tau}$ oscillation by detecting the decay topology of the $\tau$ in charged current (CC) $\nu_{\tau}$ events. The detector was exposed to the Wide Band Neutrino Beam of the…
We review the physics of rare, leptonic, and hadronic decays of charmed mesons based on the results submitted to this conference (EPS 95, Brussles).
