We perform the first global fit of rare charm transitions using recent data on $D^0\to \mu^+\mu^-$, $D^+\to\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$, $\Lambda_c\to p\mu^+\mu^-$ and $D^0\to\pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ decays, including angular observables. We work out…
Rare charm decays offer the unique possibility to explore flavour-changing neutral-currents in the up-sector within the Standard Model and beyond. Due to the lack of effective methods to reliably describe its low energy dynamics, rare charm…
The LHCb bounds on the branching ratio of rare decay $D^0 \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and the constraints on the branching ratio of $D^+ \to \pi^+ \mu^+ \mu^-$ in the nonresonant regions enable us to improve constraints on new physics contributions.…
We analyze patterns from CP-violating new physics (NP) in hadronic and semileptonic rare charm $\vert \Delta c \vert=\vert \Delta u\vert=1$ transitions. Observation of direct CP-violation in hadronic decays, as in $\Delta A_{\text{CP}}$,…
The search for new physics beyond the standard model is proceeding nowadays intensively along experimental and theoretical lines. We review here the sector of charm radiative decays in this context. The calculation of $D\to V\gamma$, $D\to…

Current experimental information on the charm meson decay observables in which the $c\to s\ell\nu_\ell$ transitions occur is well compatible with the Standard Model predictions. Recent precise lattice calculations of the $D_s$ meson decay…
$|\Delta c|=|\Delta u|=1$ processes are unique probes of flavor physics in the up-sector within and beyond the Standard Model (SM). SM tests with rare semileptonic charm meson decays are based on an approximate CP--symmetry, a superior…
Rare $|\Delta c|=|\Delta u|=1$ transitions into dineutrinos are strongly GIM-suppressed and constitute excellent null tests of the standard model. While branching ratios of $D \to P \,\nu \bar \nu$, $D \to P^+ P^- \, \nu \bar \nu$, $P=\pi,…
We analyze the potential of rare charm decays as probes of new physics at a high-luminosity flavor facility operating at the $Z$ pole, such as the FCC-ee or CEPC. In particular, we identify clean null-test observables in $D^0 \to \pi^+…
We analyze rare charm baryon decays within the standard model and beyond. We identify all null test observables in unpolarized $\Lambda_c \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$, $\ell=e, \mu$ decays, and study the new physics sensitivities. We find that the…
Rare $\vert \Delta c \vert=\vert \Delta u \vert=1$ processes uniquely probe flavor in the Standard Model and beyond from the up-type quark sector. Opportunities to search for BSM physics in charm arise from the severe GIM suppression which…
The observation of anomalies in the charged current $b\rightarrow c\bar{\ell}\nu_{\ell}$ transitions hints the possibility of the existence of new physics beyond the standard model. Inspired by the work done in the beauty quark sector, we…

A lattice QCD determination of the $\Lambda_c \to N$ vector, axial vector, and tensor form factors is reported. The calculation was performed with $2+1$ flavors of domain wall fermions at lattice spacings of $a\approx 0.11\:{\rm…
The rare hyperon decay $\Sigma^+ \to p \ell^+ \ell^-$ is a flavour-changing neutral current process mediated by an $s \to d$ transition that occurs only at loop level within the Standard Model. Consequently, this decay is highly suppressed,…
We revisit the Standard Model description of the recently measured rare decays $D^0\to\pi^+\pi^-\ell^+\ell^-$. Because of the effectiveness of the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani mechanism in charm flavour-changing neutral currents, those decays…
