I review recent results on Dalitz plot analyses of D meson decays and an analysis that takes advantage of the quantum correlations between D meson pairs produced in the decay of the psi(3770).
Motivated by recent experimental results we reconsider semileptonic $D \to P \ell \nu_{\ell} $ decays within a model which combines heavy quark symmetry and properties of the chiral Lagrangian. We include excited charm meson states, some of…
Fermilab experiment E791 studied weak decays of D+, D_s, and D^0 mesons produced in collisions of 500 GeV/c negative pions with Pt and C targets. The experiment collected over 200,000 fully reconstructed charm decays. Four recent results…
This paper reports on a new high precision measurement of the form factors of the K_{L}\to \pi^{\pm} \mu^{\mp} \nu_{\mu} decay. The data sample of about 2.3$\times 10^{6}$ events was recorded in 1999 by the NA48 experiment at CERN. Studying…
Presented are recent results of two-photon interactions. Topics inlcude photon structure functions, inclusive hadron production, differential cross sections derived from tagged 2-photon fusion events and results in exclusive hadron…
The SELEX experiment (Fermilab E781) is a 3-stage magnetic spectrometer for the study of charm hadroproduction at large x_F using 600GeV/c Sigma-, pi-, and p beams. New precise measurements of the Lambda_c, D0, and Ds lifetimes are…
We compare the effects of several form factor recipes in fits to pseudoscalar meson photoproduction data. The specific examples of pion and kaon photoproduction are used to illustrate how different choices can alter the results of such…
Dalitz analyses in charm give access to both magnitudes and phases of the charm decay amplitudes. They play a significant role in charm-mixing measurements, in the measurement of the CP-violating phase gamma in B decays to charm, and in the…
We show that the Lorentz integral transform (LIT) technique which has been successfully applied to photoreactions in light nuclei can also be applied to photoreactions involving particle production. A simple model where results are easily…
We present the results of a calculation of semileptonic form factors of D and B mesons. The calculation uses nonperturbatively order a improved quenched lattice QCD and two values of the coupling. Results for charm mesons show reasonable…
The way a charm-quark fragments into a charmed hadron is a challenging problem both for the theoretical and the experimental particle physics. Moreover, in neutrino induced charm-production, peculiar processes occur such as quasi-elastic…
This paper summarizes recent experimental results on charmed baryons. Two main topics are covered: first, the spectroscopy of charmed baryon states; second, the production of charmed baryons in the decays of B mesons and from the e^+ e^-…
After the completion of data taking at HERA-2, a large data set is at hand to study the photoproduction of charm and beauty quarks in ep collisions. New measurements of charm production based on D^* meson tagging and beauty production based…
Charm quarks are expected to be produced mainly by the photon-gluon fusion mechanism in photon-Nucleon interactions. However, a small part of the total charm cross section originates in similar processes to those appearing in charm…
The $f_1(1285)$ meson with mass $1281.0 \pm 0.8$ MeV/$c^2$ and width $18.4 \pm 1.4$ MeV (FWHM) was measured for the first time in photoproduction from a proton target using CLAS at Jefferson Lab. Differential cross sections were obtained…
The latest results of the ATLAS experiment for the production of a top-quark pair in association with a photon using proton-proton collision data from the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are summarised here. This includes inclusive…
A high statistics sample of photoproduced charm particles from the FOCUS(E831) experiment at Fermilab has been used to measure the D0 and D+ lifetimes. Using about 210000 D0 and 110000 D+ events we obtained the following values: 409.6 +/-…
Measurements of the branching fractions of the semileptonic decays $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ and $B_c\to J/\psi\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ systematically exceed the Standard Model (SM) predictions, pointing to possible signals of new physics…
Recent results from the CDF collaboration are presented on the production of final states containing charm and beauty quarks.
A brief update is given on recent developments in the theory of exclusive semileptonic charm decays. A check on analyticity arguments from the kaon system is reviewed. Recent results on form factor shape measurements are discussed.
