A fit of amplitudes to the experimental branching ratios to two mesons is used to construct a new estimate of neutral $D$ mixing which includes $SU(3)$ breaking. The result is dominated by the experimental uncertainties. This suggests that…
We calculate the parameters $x$ and $y$ for the $D$ meson mixing in the Standard Model by considering a dispersion relation between them. The dispersion relation for a fictitious charm quark of arbitrary mass squared $s$ is turned into an…
The study of neutral $D$-meson mixing provides a unique probe of long-distance effects in the charm sector, where Standard Model contributions are dominated by nonperturbative effects. In this work, we investigate the feasibility of using…
The main challenge in the Standard Model calculation of the mass and width difference in the D0-D0bar system is to estimate the size of SU(3) breaking effects. We prove that D meson mixing occurs in the Standard Model only at second order…

The existence of the $X(3872)$ resonance extremely close to the $D^{*0} \bar{D}^0$ threshold implies that neutral charm mesons have an approximate nonrelativistic conformal symmetry. Systems consisting of these mesons with small kinetic…
The Standard Model contribution to D0-anti-D0 mixing is dominated by the contributions of light s and d quarks. Neglecting the tiny effects due to b quark, both mass and lifetime differences vanish in the limit of SU(3)_F symmetry. Thus,…
In view of difficulty to reproduce observables in the $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing via the operator product expansion, we discuss the Dyson-Schwinger approach to this process. Formulated by the parametrization of quark propagators, SU(3) breaking…
We argue that the mixing phenomenon of a neutral meson formed by a fictitious massive quark will disappear, if the electroweak symmetry of the Standard Model (SM) is restored at a high energy scale. This disappearance is taken as the…
We review the status of Standard Model predictions for lifetimes and mixing rates of charmed mesons. It is shown that the short distance approach is able to reproduce tau(D^+)/tau(D^0) at leading order in the 1/m_c expansion. SU(3)…
We report a measurement of the mass difference between neutral charm-meson eigenstates using a novel approach that enhances sensitivity to this parameter. We use $2.3\times 10^6$ $D^0\to K_S^0\pi^+\pi^-$ decays reconstructed in…
We present results for the $SU(3)$ breaking ratios of decay constants $f_{D_s}/f_D$ and $f_{B_s}/f_B$ and - for the first time with physical pion masses - the ratio of bag parameters $B_{B_s}/B_{B_d}$, as well as the ratio $\xi$, forming…

We study the Standard Model prediction for the mass difference between the two neutral D meson mass eigenstates, $\Delta m$. We derive a dispersion relation based on heavy quark effective theory that relates $\Delta m$ to an integral of the…
D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing at the detectable level or significant CP violation in the charm system may strongly signify the existence of new physics. In view of the large discovery potential associated with the fixed target experiments, the…

The predictive soft-wall AdS/QCD model with a modified 5D metric at the infrared region is constructed to obtain a non-trivial dilaton solution for three flavor quarks $u$, $d$ and $s$. Such a model is shown to incorporate both the chiral…
This talk summarizes the study of the dynamics of the heavy-light \bar Qq open charm and beauty mesons obtained in [1] using QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) and motivated by the recent experimental discovery of the D{sJ}(2317) and D{sJ}(2457)…

Evidence for mixing in the neutral D meson system has recently been reported. Assuming negligible CP violation, non-vanishing width and mass differences between the two neutral D mass eigenstates has been found. Theoretical predictions of…
