A review of recent results in flavour physics at the ATLAS and CMS experiments is presented. These include measurements of quarkonia and charm production cross sections, the B0 lifetime, and the mass splittings between excited and ground B…
We report on the physics potential of a proposed conversion of the CESR machine and the CLEO detector to a charm and QCD factory: ``CLEO-c and CESR-c'' that will make crucial contributions to quark flavor physics this decade, and may offer…
Charmed scalar mesons are studied. By assigning the newly observed charmed strange meson with a narrow width to one of the iso-triplet four-quark mesons, decays of the multiplet members are investigated and, as the consequence, existence of…
The CLEO collaboration has studied two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons into final states containing two pseudo-scalar mesons, or a pseudo-scalar and a vector meson. We summarize and discuss results presented during the…
We present recent results from the CLEO Collaboration. The data used were collected from 1995 untill now at the Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring (CESR). Measurements of the leptonic branching fractions for $J/\psi \to e^+ e^-, \mu^+…
In spring 2003, the B physics era ended for the CLEO experiment with a final run at the Y(5S) resonance. Over the summer the experiment and the CESR accelerator were modified to operate at lower center-of-mass energies between 3 and 5 GeV.…
We consider the fragmentation of heavy quarks into heavy-flavoured hadrons, specifically the production of charmed mesons in $e^+e^-$ collisions, at different centre-of-mass energies. We focus our attention on the ratio of moments of the…
Chiral thermodynamics of charmed mesons is formulated at finite temperature within a $2+1+1$-flavored effective Lagrangian incorporating heavy quark symmetry. The chiral mass splittings are shown to be less sensitive to the light-quark…

Motivated by recent results on charmed baryons from CLEO and FOCUS, we reexamine the couplings of the orbitally excited charmed baryons. Due to its proximity to the [Sigma_c pi] threshold, the strong decays of the Lambda_c(2593) are…

Thermal fluctuations and correlations between the light and heavy-light mesons are explored within a chiral effective theory implementing heavy quark symmetry. We show, that various heavy-light flavor correlations indicate a remnant of the…
Chiral thermodynamics of charmed mesons is formulated at finite temperature within a $2+1+1$-flavored effective Lagrangian incorporating heavy quark symmetry. The charmed-meson mean fields act as an extra source which breaks the chiral…

We review the most recent results from experiments studying systems containing charmed quarks. The selection reflects the presenter's bias, and there is an emphasis on decays of open charm. We discuss precision measurements of various…

A charmed quark experiences drag and diffusion in the quark-gluon plasma, as well as strong interaction with the plasma surface. Our simulations indicate that charmed quarks created in heavy ion collisions will be trapped in the mixed phase…
