After a brief history of heavy quarks, I will discuss charm, bottom, and top quarks in turn. For each one, I discuss its first observation, and then what we have learned about production, hadronization, and decays - and what these have…
Recent developments in charm physics within the standard model and beyond are reviewed. The precision study of leptonic charm meson decays accompanied with the constraints coming from K, B and tau physics enables to determine constraints on…
We consider the prospect of using the charm system as a laboratory for probing new physics. The theoretical expectations for rare charm meson decays, $D^0-bar D^0$ mixing, and charm quark asymmetries in $Z$ decays are examined in the…
This document presents eight recent and new analyses from the LHCb experiment covering results on CKM angle $\gamma$ and high precision measurements on charm mixing parameters. In addition, the latest CP violation measurements in charm and…
The case for further dedicated studies of charm dynamics is presented as driven by three complementary motivations: core lessons on QCD and nonperturbative dynamics in general can be learnt; those can be applied with great profit in…
We discuss recent achievements in light scalar mesons spectroscopy through amplitude analysis of charm particle decay and its consequences. The high statistics clean samples of charmed mesons, in addition to it's definite J^P and mass, is…
We present the current status of experimental results and prospects for the determination of CP and T violation in the charm sector. Such measurements have acquired renewed interest in recent years in view of theoretical work, which has…

The spectra of states containing charmed and beauty quarks, and their regularities, are reviewed.
Recent experimental bounds on rare charm decays offer a chance to improve our theoretical understanding of physics present in $c \to u \gamma$ and $c \to u l^+ l^-$ transitions. Standard Model and New Physics contributions are reviewed for…
The LHCb experiment has opened the possibility to test mixing and $C\!P$ violation in the charm sector with unprecedented precision thanks to the huge number of charm hadron decays collected, $\mathcal{O}(10^8)$. The first observation of…

We review recent experimental results on D0 -D0bar mixing and CP violation charm decays. These studies provide complementary constraints on many different extensions of the Standard Model. Observation of CP violation in charm decays at the…
This is an update of the two articles (H.Y. Cheng, 2009; Cheng, 2015) in which charmed baryon physics around 2007 and 2015, respectively, were reviewed. In this review we emphasize the experimental progress and the theoretical development…

To write a review on charm decays is not an easy task because of the large amount (fortunately!) of experimental results in the recent years. I was forced to make a selection of topics. I am going to discuss with the eyes of an…
