Following the intriguing hints of deviations from the Standard Model in rare B meson decays, searches for rare and forbidden decays of charm hadrons become a hot topic again. We present recent results on Flavour Changing Neutral Current…
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…

Searches for CP violation in the charm sector from the E791, FOCUS, CLEO, BABAR and BELLE experiments are presented. Most analyses consider CP violation in two-body or quasi-two-body decays. Preliminary results from CLEO and FOCUS using…
We report the observation of the Cabibbo-suppressed decays \lcpkk\ and \lcpphi\ using data collected with the CLEO II detector at CESR. The latter mode, observed for the first time with significant statistics, is of interest as a test of…
Our analysis suggests that the charmless yield in B decays is enhanced over traditional estimates. The c c.bar pair produced in b to c c.bar transitions may be seen significantly as light hadrons due to non-perturbative effects. Existing…
The experimental results of the \babar\ and Belle collaborations are presented on the measurement of the branching ratio for the decay $B^\pm \to \tau^\pm \nu$, and the limits set on the branching ratios for the decays $B^\pm \to e^\pm \nu,…

Recent experimental results from CLEO indicate that strong penguin processes are remarkably robust. These results have spurred a variety of theoretical efforts which will be briefly review here. In particular we will discuss exclusive…
We describe two complementary ways to show the presence of higher order effects in the 1/m_Q expansion for inclusive B decays that have been dubbed "Intrinsic Charm". Apart from the lessons they can teach us about QCD's nonperturbative…

Belle and Belle II experiments have collected $e^+e^-$ collision data with center-of-mass energies at or near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. Using total $1.4\,\mathrm{ab}^{-1}$ combined dataset, we present new measurements of branching…
Status of nonfactorizable effects in hadronic charmless B decays is reviewed. Implications of new CLEO measurements on $B^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B\to\eta' K$ are discussed. Nonfactorizable effects due to color ocet 4-quark operators are…
Implications of recent measurements of hadronic charmless B decays are discussed.
The $b$ and the $c$ quark compete with each other in decays of the $B_c$-meson. We emphasize the need of obtaining reliable signals of $c \to s$ in order to assess the merits of the spectator approximation in calculating the relative…
We review recent experimental results on B meson decays. These include measurements of the inclusive production of charmed and non-charmed mesons and baryons, the reconstruction of a large number of exclusive hadronic final states with…
