After a brief history of heavy quarks, I will discuss charm, bottom, and top quarks in turn. For each one, I discuss its first observation, and then what we have learned about production, hadronization, and decays - and what these have…
The possibility of using the charm system to search for new physics is addressed. Phenomena such as $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing and rare decays of charmed mesons are first examined in the Standard Model to test our present understanding and to…
For a long time the significance of charm has been overlooked as an important component of the heavy flavour programme. In recent years the balance has been redressed, and charm studies are quite rightly receiving much more attention. This…
The physics of charm has become one of the best laboratories exposing the limitations of the naive constituent quark model and also giving hints into a more mature description of meson spectroscopy, beyond the simple quark--antiquark…
We review the most recent results from experiments studying systems containing charmed quarks. The selection reflects the presenter's bias, and there is an emphasis on decays of open charm. We discuss precision measurements of various…
This invited summary gives some concluding remarks regarding theoretical aspects of the research presented at Charm2010. I will specialize to the role of theory and the relative reach of theory and experiment in three of the major areas of…
Although the Standard Model has been firmly established, the search for physics beyond the SM is ongoing by investigating new experimental probes. Rare charm decays are a unique tool to access New Physics studies. The high luminosity…
Recent developments in charm physics within the standard model and beyond are reviewed. The precision study of leptonic charm meson decays accompanied with the constraints coming from K, B and tau physics enables to determine constraints on…
We report on the charm physics potential at BES-III at BEPC-II which will make significant contribution to quark flavor physics this decade. The charm physics program will include studies of leptonic, semileptonic and hadronic charm decays,…
New results on properties and decays of open charm and charmonium states are reviewed. The emphasis is on examples that illustrate the various aspects through which studies of charm physics impact the field.
After a short review of the theoretical tools available to describe heavy flavour physics I sketch the present profile of the weak dynamics of charm hadrons with respect to lifetimes, oscillations and CP violation. I argue that…
We review several key aspects of charm phenomenology which are important for the general program of determination of matrix elements of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskava (CKM) matrix. We argue that charm physics plays an important role in…
The spectra of states containing charmed and beauty quarks, and their regularities, are reviewed.
A number of ways are reviewed in which the study of charmed particles can answer corresponding questions about particles containing $b$ quarks. Topics include the properties of resonances, the magnitude of decay constants, the size of…
We set the scene for theoretical issues in charm physics that were discussed at CHARM 2016 in Bologna. In particular we emphasize the importance of improving our understanding of standard model contributions to numerous charm observables…
A perspective on charm physics, emphasizing recent developments, future prospects, and the interplay with lattice QCD.
This paper is aimed at giving a complete review of the latest (post-1998 Physics in Collision conference) experimental results on charm physics.
Charm spectroscopy has studied under a string model. Charmed baryons are composed of diquark and charm quark which are connected by a constant tension. In a diquark picture, the quantum numbers $J^P$ of confirmed baryons are well assigned.…
The importance of charm decays in the context of flavor is motivated. A theory overview on recent developments in leptonic and semileptonic decays, hadronic two-body decays, and rare decays is presented. Standard Model (SM) predictions as…
Charm CP violation is a unique gate to the physics of up-type quarks and allows searches for physics beyond the Standard Model in new and exciting ways, complementary to kaon and $b$ decays. We review recent advances, focusing on…
