It is demonstrated that charm is systematically undercounted in various experiments. Via a process of elimination, $B(D^0 \rightarrow K^- \pi^+ )$ is identified as the culprit. It calibrates essentially all charmed meson production and…

We briefly review the recent results obtained by Fermilab experiment E791 on the Dalitz plot analysis of the decay D+ -> K- pi+ pi+, where indication for a light Kpi scalar resonance, the kappa, was found. We also present preliminary…

Some years ago, a method was proposed for measuring the CP-violating phase gamma using pairs of two-body decays that are related by U-spin reflection (d <-> s). In this paper we adapt this method to charmless B -> PPP decays. Time-dependent…

A previous analysis of two-body Cabibbo allowed nonleptonic decays of $D^0$ mesons and of Cabibbo allowed and first-forbidden decays of $D^+$ and $D_s^+$ has been adjourned using more recent experimental data and extended to the Cabibbo…

We study the decay of D+ and Ds+ mesons into charged five body final states, and report the discovery of the decay mode D+ -> K+K-Pi+Pi+Pi-, as well as measurements of the decay modes D+ -> K-Pi+Pi+Pi+Pi-, Ds+ -> K+K-Pi+Pi+Pi-, Ds+ ->…

Using a sample of 1.8 million DDbar meson pairs collected at the psi(3770) with the CLEO-c detector, we study the semileptonic decays D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e, D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ \nu_e, D^0 -> K^- e^+ \nu_e, and D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e. For the…

We present an updated study of charm mixing and the relative strong phase between doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D0 --> K+pi- and Cabibbo-favored D0bar --> K+pi- decay amplitudes using 3 x 10^6 quantum-correlated D0D0bar pairs from 818 pb^-1 of…

We present a summary of recent results on CP violation and mixing in the charm quark sector based on a high statistics sample collected by photoproduction experiment FOCUS (E831 at Fermilab). We have measured the difference in lifetimes for…

In this paper, we study the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^0$ decays into $K^- \pi^+$ decays. First we show that, within the Standard Model, the corresponding CP asymmetry is strongly suppressed and out of the experimental range even…

A review of the present experimental status of the rates and the Dalitz-plot slope parameters in CP conserving K->2\pi and K->3\pi decays is given. The corresponding isospin amplitudes have been determined by a common fit to the recent…

We report a Dalitz-plot analysis of the charmless hadronic decays of charged B mesons to the final state K+/- pi+/- pi-/+. Using a sample of 383.2 +/- 4.2 million BBbar pairs collected by the BaBar detector, we measure CP-averaged branching…

Strangeness-changing decays of $B$ mesons to three-body final states of pions and kaons are studied, assuming that they are dominated by a $\Delta I=0$ penguin amplitude with flavor structure $\bar b \to \bar s$. Numerous isospin relations…

We utilize the universality of pion-pion ($\pi\pi$) final-state interactions at small invariant masses to understand the enhanced localized CP violation in $B^\pm\to K^\pm\pi^+\pi^-$, using a dispersive approach. From a fit to the…

A model-independent search for direct CP violation in the Cabibbo suppressed decay $D^+ \to K^- K^+\pi^+$ in a sample of approximately 370,000 decays is carried out. The data were collected by the LHCb experiment in 2010 and correspond to…

We have searched for CP violation of charmed mesons in the decays $D\to K^0_S P$, where $D$ denotes $D^0$ and $D^+_{(s)}$, and $P$ denotes the pseudo-scalar mesons $\pi^+$, $K^+$, $\pi^0$, $\eta$, and $\eta'$. No evidence of CP violation in…

I discuss new results on absolute branching ratios of charm mesons into specific exclusive final states, Cabibbo suppressed decay rates, inclusive decays to $s\bar{s}$ mesons, limits on D^0 anti-D^0 mixing, CP violation and T violation.…

We give a simple expression in linear and quadratic Dalitz--plot slopes which does not depend on the charge combination of the $3\pi$ state $(K^\pm \to \pi^{\pm}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ or $\pi^{\pm}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ and $K_L^{0} \to…
