We calculate the time-dependent and time-integrated decay rates of $(D^0\bar{D}^0)\rightarrow (K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp})(l^{\pm}X^{\mp})$ at the $\psi(3.77)$ and $\psi(4.14)$ resonances. The possibilities to distinguish between the effects of…
The CLEO collaboration proposes to explore the charm sector starting early 2003. It is foreseen to collect on the order of 6 million D D-bar pairs, 300000 Ds Ds-bar pairs at threshold and one billion J/psi decays. High precision charm data…
With the first evidence of direct CP violation in $D^0 \to K^+K^-/\pi^+\pi^-$ there is a strong reason to probe CP asymmetries in charm baryons in three-body final states $\Lambda_c \to p\pi^+\pi^-/pK^+K^-$ & $\Lambda_c \to pK^+\pi^-$ with…
I discuss hadronic decays of $D$ mesons with emphasis on the recent discovery of charm CP violation in $D^0\to K^+K^-,\pi^+\pi^-$ decays. The measured difference $\Delta a_{CP} \, \equiv \; a_{CP}^{\mathrm{dir}}(D^0\rightarrow K^+K^-) -…

Dalitz analyses in charm give access to both magnitudes and phases of the charm decay amplitudes. They play a significant role in charm-mixing measurements, in the measurement of the CP-violating phase gamma in B decays to charm, and in the…
the KM expectations of large CP asymmetries in $B$ decays are reviewed. I describe some observable signatures for the intervention of New Physics and list benchmarks defining the `ultimate' measurements in beauty physics. I also stress the…
We present preliminary results of several analyses searching for the effects of CP violation and mixing in the decay of $D^0$ mesons. We find no evidence of CP asymmetry in five different two-body decay modes of the $D^0$ to pairs of light…
A combination of measurements sensitive to the $CP$ violation angle $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle and to the charm mixing parameters that describe oscillations between $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$ mesons is…
Charm CP violation is a unique gate to the physics of up-type quarks and allows searches for physics beyond the Standard Model in new and exciting ways, complementary to kaon and $b$ decays. We review recent advances, focusing on…
Four topics in theory of CP violation are reviewed. (a) CP violation in $B$ decays: We describe a new clean way of constraining the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle and how new CP violation in decay amplitudes can signal new…
We present preliminary results in the charm sector from a mixed-action setup, in which CLS $N_f=2+1$ ensembles are combined with a Wilson twisted mass valence action. We study the continuum and chiral limits of charm quark observables such…

The CDF and LHCb experiments have recently provided two intriguing hints for new physics: a large forward-backward asymmetry in $t\bar t$ production, and a direct CP asymmetry in D decays of order a percent. In both cases, flavor…
The measurement of CP violation in the charm sector triggered a lot of theoretical activities and re-considerations. Nevertheless currently neither theory nor experiment have reached definite conclusions about the origin of a large CP…
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.
We report a preliminary measurement of the CP violating asymmetry in D0->pi+pi- using approximately 215,000 decays reconstructed in about 5.94/fb of CDF data. We use the strong D*+->D0pi+ decay ("D* tag") to identify the flavor of the…
The reported CP asymmetry in D->K^+K^- / pi^+pi^- is argued to be too large to naturally fit the SM. If so, a new source of CP violation is implied in the Delta C=1 sector with a milliweak strength. CP-odd interactions in the…
We report the first measurement of the charm-mixing parameter $y_{CP}$ in $D^{0}$ decays to the $CP$-odd final state $K^{0}_{S}\omega$. The study uses the full Belle $e^{+}e^-$ annihilation data sample of $976\rm~ fb^{-1}$ taken at or near…
