We discuss recent achievements in light scalar mesons spectroscopy through amplitude analysis of charm particle decay and its consequences. The high statistics clean samples of charmed mesons, in addition to it's definite J^P and mass, is…
There is growing evidence for deviation from the standard model predictions in the ratios between semi-tauonic and semi-leptonic $B$ decays, known as the $R(D^{(*)})$ puzzle. If the source of this non-universality is new physics, it is…
The CLEO detector at the CESR collider has used 13.7 fb^{-1} to search for the production of Omega_c (css-ground state) in e^{+}e^{-} collisions at sqrt{s} = 10.6 GeV The modes used to study the Omega_c are Omega- pi+, Omega- pi+ pi0, Xi-…
We review many of the contributions of the CLEO experiment to tau physics. Topics discussed are: branching fractions for major decay modes and tests of lepton universality; rare decays; forbidden decays; Michel parameters and spin physics;…
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…
We present recent BESIII results about the study of mesons which contain at least one charm quark. We determined the D(s)+ decay constants, the form factors of D semi-leptonic decays, the CKM matrix elements |Vcs(d)|.
A search for decays of $B_c^+$ mesons to two charm mesons is performed for the first time using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies…
Using data collected using the CLEO III detector, we present recent results on decays of the $\Upsilon(1S)-\Upsilon(3S)$ resonances. We report on three analyses. They are: (1) improved measurements of the muonic branching fraction of the…
I discuss new results on absolute branching ratios of charm mesons into specific exclusive final states, Cabibbo suppressed decay rates, inclusive decays to $s\bar{s}$ mesons, limits on D^0 anti-D^0 mixing, CP violation and T violation.…
We explore signals of lepton-number-violation in the charm physics sector. We study the four-body $|\Delta L|= 2$ decays of the $D^0$ meson, $D^0 \to P^- \pi^-\mu^+ \mu^+$ ($P = \pi, K$) as an alternative evidence of the Majorana nature of…

The role of charm in testing the Standard Model description of quark mixing and CP violation through measurements of lifetimes, decay constants and semileptonic form factors is reviewed. Together with Lattice QCD, charm has the potential…
We review status of $R$ measurement and QCD studies at low energy range, discuss prospects for a super $\tau-$charm factory in $2-7$ GeV. With a high-luminosity $e^+e^-$ collider, statistics are no longer problem for $R$ measurement and a…
The Belle II experiment is under construction at the KEK laboratory in Japan. Belle II will study e+e- collisions at or near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the goal of collecting 50 ab-1 of data, which is a large increase over that recorded…

Strategies that utilise the interference effects within $B^{\pm} \to DK^{\pm}$ decays hold great potential for improving our sensitivity to the CKM angle $\gamma$. However, in order to exploit fully this potential, detailed knowledge of the…
