We perform a comprehensive study of a number of rare charm decays, incorporating the first evaluation of the QCD corrections to the short distance contributions, as well as examining the long range effects. For processes mediated by the…
Three searches for rare decays of the charmed $D^0$ meson are presented: a search for $D^0 \to \ell^+\ell^-$ published by the BaBar collaboration using about 468 fb$^{-1}$ of data and two searches for $D^0 \to \gamma\gamma$, one published…
We investigate the possibility that scalar leptoquarks generate consequential effects on the flavor-changing neutral-current decays of charmed hadrons into final states with missing energy ($\not\!\!E$) carried away by either standard model…

The very rare $D^{*}(2007)^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decay is searched for by analysing $B^-\to\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ decays. The analysis uses a sample of beauty mesons produced in proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and…
