We analyse the consequences of the usual assumption of a constant function to fit non-resonant decays from experimental Dalitz plot describing charmed meson decays. We first show, using the $D^+\to \bar{K}^0\pi^+\pi^0$ decay channel as an…
The BESIII Collaboration recently reported the observation of the $a_0(980)^0-f_0(980)$ mixing in the isospin breaking decay $J/\psi\to \eta\pi^0\phi$. In the Dalitz plot for that decay with the $\eta$ reconstructed from two photons, there…
The recoil momentum spectrum from the decay $B^+ \to K^+ +\mathrm{anything}$ has recently been measured by the BaBar collaboration. The spectrum has a peak with invariant mass near the mass of the $X(3872)$ meson. The preliminary…
The total and differential cross sections for the production of triply charmed $\Omega_{ccc}$ baryons in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation are calculated at the $Z$-boson pole.
If the recently-discovered charmonium state X(3870) is a loosely-bound molecule of the charm mesons D^0 and \bar D^{*0} or \bar D^0 and D^{*0}, it can be produced in e^+ e^- annihilation at the \Upsilon(4S) resonance by the coalescence of…
We present recent results on scalar light mesons based on Dalitz plot analyses of charm decays from Fermilab experiment E791. Low mass scalar mesons are found to have large contributions to the decays studied, D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+ and D^+,…
Charm meson decay dynamics have been studied extensively over the last decade. We describe the Dalitz-plot analysis technique which has been applied by many experiments to three-body D0, D+ and Ds decays. We discuss experimental results…
We will discuss how the decays of charm mesons can be used to study light mesons spectroscopy, by presenting recent results of Dalitz plot analyses using data from Fermilab experiment E791. Emphasis will be on scalar mesons, which are found…
We present searches for rare charm decays of the form $X_c^+ \to h^{\pm} \ell^{\mp} \ell^{(')^+}$, where $X_c^+$ is a charm hadron either $D^+$, $D_s^+$, or $\Lambda_c^+$, and $\ell^{(')^{\pm}}$ is an electron or muon. These modes are based…
We report the first observation of charmed mesons with the ZEUS detector at HERA using the decay channel ${\rm D}^{*+}\rightarrow (\Do \rightarrow {\rm K}^-\pi^+)\pi^+$ (+ c.c.). Clear signals in the mass difference $\Delta…
It is pointed out that assigning D_{s0}^+(2317) to an iso-triplet tetra-quark meson is favored by experiments. It also is discussed why its neutral and doubly charged partners have never been observed in inclusive e^+e^- annihilation. To…
The potential for a precise measurement of the Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$ in future experiments from the decay $B^0 \to DK^{*0}$ is well-known. It has recently been suggested that the sensitivity can be significantly enhanced by…
We propose to measure the decay asymmetry parameters in the hadronic weak decays of singly charmed baryons, such as $\ldc\to\ld\pi^+,\Sigma^0\pi^+,p \bar K_0$, $\Xi_c^0\to\Xi^-\pi^+$ and $\Omega_c^0\to\Omega^-\pi^+$. The joint angular…
Using 230.2 fb^(-1) of e+e- annihilation data collected with the BABAR detector at and near the peak of the Y(4S) resonance, 489 +/- 55 events containing the pure leptonic decay D_s^+ --> mu^+ nu_mu have been isolated in charm-tagged…
A brief overview of charm scalar resonances is given. It is demonstrated that experimental data on the D_s^{*+}gamma and D_s^+pi^0 decays of D_{s0}^+(2317) favor its assignment to the I_3=0 component of iso-triplet four-quark mesons. The…
The recently-discovered narrow charmonium resonance near 3870 MeV is interpreted as a hadronic molecule whose constituents are the charm mesons D^0 and \bar D^{*0} or \bar D^0 and D^{*0}. Because of an accidental fine-tuning of the molecule…
Recently the D$^+$ charm meson was observed to have a clear branching ratio into the low energy $\pi-\pi$ sigma resonance, while this channel was not detected in the D$_s^+$ decay. It is shown that this is consistent with the standard…
We have measured the inclusive semileptonic branching fractions of $D^0$, $D^+$, and $D^+_s$ mesons. For these measurements, we have used the full CLEO-c open-charm data samples, 818 pb$^{-1}$ at $E_\text{CM} = 3.774$ GeV, giving $D^0…
Motivated by recent experimental results on charm physics we investigate implications of the updated constraints of new physics in rare charm meson decays. We first reconsider effects of the MSSM in $c\to u \gamma$ constrained by the recent…
We have searched for flavor-changing neutral current decays and lepton-number-violating decays of D^+ and D^+_s mesons to final states of the form h^+- e^-+ e^+, where h is either \pi or K. We use the complete samples of CLEO-c open-charm…
