We review some recent developments in charm meson physics. In particular, we discuss theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of charmed meson decays to leptonic, semileptonic, and hadronic final states and implications of such…
Direct CP-asymmetries in inclusive decay modes can be cleanly calculated by exploiting quark-hadron duality. This is in sharp contrast to CP-asymmetries in exclusive channels, where unknown strong phases prevent a clean extraction of CKM…
We study the possibility of obtaining large direct CP violation in the charmed hadron decays $D^+ \to \rho^+ \rho^0 (\omega) \to \rho^+ \pi^+\pi^-$, $D^+ \to \pi^+ \rho^0 (\omega) \to \pi^+ \pi^+\pi^-$, $D^0 \to \phi \rho^0 (\omega) \to\phi…
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…
Direct CP violation can occur in B-meson decays of the type b -> d+c+cbar, where the charm-anticharm pair forms a J/psi. The CP asymmetry requires the contribution to the amplitude from decays into other states, which rescatter into d+J/psi…
These proceedings review direct CP violation in hadronic B decays. The experimental results include those related to the measurement of the unitarity triangle angle gamma using B->D(*)K(*) decays and measurements of charmless hadronic B…
A measurement of the time-integrated $CP$ asymmetry in the Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^0\rightarrow K^-K^+$ is performed using pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector at…
Recent disagreement between experimental measurments of CP violating asymmetry in D -> K+ K- and D ->pi+ pi- and theoretical Standard model expectation motivated many studies within the Standard model and beyond. Rare charm decays offer new…
There is growing evidence for deviation from the standard model predictions in the ratios between semi-tauonic and semi-leptonic $B$ decays, known as the $R(D^{(*)})$ puzzle. If the source of this non-universality is new physics, it is…
A high statistics sample of photoproduced charm particles from the FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab has been used to search for CP violation in the Cabibbo suppressed decay modes D+ to K-K+pi+, D0 to K-K+ and D0 to pi-pi+. We have…
A study of mixing and indirect CP violation in D0 mesons through the determination of the parameters y_CP and A_\Gamma\ is presented. The parameter y_CP is the deviation from unity of the ratio of effective lifetimes measured in D0 decays…
The motivation most often cited in searches for D0-anti-D0 mixing and CP-violation in charm system lies with the possibility of observing a signal from new physics which dominates that from the Standard Model. We review recent theoretical…
A model-independent analytical analysis for charmless B decays is presented. It is demonstrated that the CP-averaging branching ratio difference $\Delta R = R_c - R_n$ in $B\to \pi K$ decays with $R_c = 2Br(\pi^0K^-)/Br(\pi^-\bar{K}^0)$ and…
We report measurements of charm-mixing parameters based on the decay-time-dependent ratio of $D^0\to K^+\pi^-$ to $D^0\to K^-\pi^+$ rates. The analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity…
We report updated measurements of indirect and direct CP asymmetry in decays $D^0 \to K^+K^-,\pi^+\pi^-$ and a new measurement of direct and indirect CP asymmetry in decays $D^0 \to \pi^0\pi^0$, using the full data sample of the Belle…
The charm quark offers interesting opportunities to cross-check the mechanism of CP violation precisely tested in the strange and beauty sectors. In this paper, we exploit the angular and quantum correlations in the D\bar{D} pairs produced…
We report a measurement of the \CP\ violating asymmetry in $D^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decays using approximately 215,000 decays reconstructed in about $5.94$ fb$^{-1}$ of CDF data. We use the strong $D^{\star +}\to D^0\pi^+$ decay ("$D^{\star}$…
A measurement of charm mixing and $CP$-violating parameters is reported, using $\bar{B} \rightarrow D^0 ( \rightarrow K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^-) \mu^- \bar{\nu}_\mu X$ decays reconstructed in proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb…
We carry out a systematic flavor SU(3) analysis of D-meson decays including the leading order symmetry breaking effects. We find that SU(3) breaking can easily account for the recent LHCb measurement of the difference in CP asymmetries in…
We have searched for CP violation in the decays $D^0\rightarrow K^0_S P^0$ where $P^0$ denotes a neutral pseudo-scalar meson which is either a $\pi^0$, $\eta$, or $\eta'$ using KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collision data corresponding to…
