A review of the charmed meson and baryon lifetimes is presented. Our knowledge of charmed particle lifetimes has greatly improved over the past two years, a crucial r\^ole having been played by the E687 experiment at Fermilab, which has…

According to the standard model, the Cabibbo-favored (CF) decays are $CP$ conserve at tree level. Observation of any finite $CP$ asymmetry can be received as a signal of new physics. In CF charm meson decays, $ D^0 \rightarrow K^- \pi^+ $…

The Standard Model predictions for $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ mixing and CP violation in $D$ decays are revised. The emphasis is put on obtaining the order of magnitude of the effects. In the case of mixing, the different approaches to the long…

We exploit the quantum coherence between pair-produced D0 and D0bar in psi(3770) decays to study charm mixing and to make a first measurement of the relative strong phase \delta between D0 -> K+pi- and D0bar -> K+pi-. Using 281 pb^-1 of…

We present recent results of B and charm decays from the BaBar experiment. These results include searches for rare or forbidden charm decays, measurements of $|V_{ub}|$ from inclusive ${\bar B} \rightarrow X_u l {\bar \nu} $ decays,…

We propose for the first time a method to perform analysis of time-dependent CP asymmetries in charm by using both, correlated and un-correlated $D^0$ mesons. Here we consider the decay channels $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+ \pi^-$.…

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…

Using data from the FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab, we present a new measurement for the branching ratios of the Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes D0-->Pi-Pi+ and D0-->K-K+. We measured: Gamma(D0-->K-K+)/Gamma(D0-->Pi-Pi+) = 2.81 +/-…

We measure the $D^0 - {\bar{D}}^0$ mixing parameters using a time-dependent amplitude analysis of the decay $D^0\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$. The data were recorded with the BABAR detector at center-of-mass energies at and near the $\Upsilon(4S)$…

We report a preliminary measurement of the D0-anti-D0 mixing parameter y_CP and the CP-violating parameter A_G using the decay D*+ -> D0 pi+ followed by D0 -> K- pi+ and D0 -> K+ K-. The results are obtained from a 158 fb^-1 data sample…

In this proceeding, results of searches for CP violation in charm decays using the full BABAR dataset are discussed. The parameter $A_{CP}$ in the decay $D^\pm\to\KS\pi^\pm$ is determined to be $(-0.39 \pm 0.13 \pm 0.10)%$. Meaurements of…

Using the large hadroproduced charm sample collected in experiment E791 at Fermilab, we have measured ratios of branching fractions for the two-body singly-Cabibbo-suppressed charged decays of the D0: (D0 -> KK)/(D0 -> Kpi) = 0.109 +- 0.003…

We present Dalitz-plot analyses of $B^+\to K^+\pi^-\pi^+$ and $B^0\to K^+\pi^-\pi^0$ using the data sample collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ by the BABAR detector. We have found evidence for direct CP-violation in the decay $B^\pm\to\rho^0…

In the Standard Model \CP violation in charm decays is expected to be very small, at the level of 0.1% or less. A significant excess of \CP violation with respect to the Standard Model predictions would be a signature of new physics. We…

We present the first clear observation of the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay D+ --> K-K+K+ and the first observation of the singly Cabibbo suppressed decay Ds+ --> K-K+K+. These signals have been obtained by analyzing the high statistics…

We review current experimental results on charm mixing and CP violation. We survey experimental techniques, including time-dependent, time-independent, and quantum-correlated measurements. We review techniques that use a slow pion tag from…

We present a simultaneous measurement of the B0bar lifetime tau(B0) and mixing parameter $Delta m_d$. We use a sample of about 50000 B0bar -> D*+ l- anti-nu(l) partially reconstructed decays identified with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II…

We present results of a search for D0-D0bar mixing and doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed decays of the D0 in Fermilab experiment E791, a fixed-target charm hadroproduction experiment. We look for evidence of mixing in the decay chain D* -> pi D0 ->…
