The CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) is completing a major upgrade that significantly extends its physics reach in the study of heavy quarks and leptons. The major elements of this detector upgrade are the…
Results from the CLEO Collaboration, mainly dealing with the study of charmed mesons produced at flavor threshold but also covering other areas of CLEO's investigation, are reviewed.
Leptonic and semileptonic decays in the charm sector have been well studied in recent years. With the largest data sample near $D\bar D$ threshold, precision measurements of leptonic and semileptonic decays of charm meson and baryon are…
We explore the sensitivity of the flavour changing neutral currents among c and u quarks in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The standard model rate for c->u gamma can be enhanced by up to two orders of magnitudes…
The study of mesons and baryons which contain at least one charm quark is referred to as open charm physics. It offers the possibility to study up-type quark transitions. Since the $c$ quark can not be treated in any mass limit, theoretical…

We present searches for rare or forbidden charm decays of the form $X_c^+\to h^\pm\ell^\mp\ell^{(\prime)+}$, where $X_c^+$ is a charm hadron ($D^+$, $D^+_s$, or $\Lambda_c^+$), $h^\pm$ is a pion, kaon, or proton, and $\ell^{(\prime)\pm}$ is…
