We present an analysis of the decay $D^0 \to K^+\pi^-$ based on FOCUS data. From a sample of 234 signal events, we find a branching ratio of $\frac{\Gamma(D^0 \to K^+\pi^-)}{\Gamma(D^0 \to K^-\pi^+)} = (0.429^{+0.063}_{-0.061}\pm 0.027)%$…

Measurements of the coherence factor $R_{K3\pi}$, the average strong-phase difference $\delta^{K3\pi}_D$ and mean amplitude ratio $r_D^{K3\pi}$ for the decay $D \to K^-\pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$ are presented. These parameters are important inputs to…

We discuss recent CLEO results on D0-D0bar and B0d-B0dbar mixing. The principal results are that for the D0 system, allowing for CP violations, the mixing amplitude x'<2.9% (95% C.L.), and for the B0d system, chi=0.198+-0.013+-0.014. We…

Based on 2.92 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at $\sqrt{s}$ = 3.773 GeV, we measured the asymmetry $\mathcal{A}_{CP\to K\pi}$ of the branching fractions of $D^{CP\pm}\to K^-\pi^+$ ($D^{CP\pm}$ are the…

We have studied the Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode D^0 into K^+ K^- pi^0 using a Dalitz plot technique and find the strong phase difference delta_D [defined as delta_(K*^- K^+) - delta_(K*^+ K^-)] = 332 degrees +- 8 degrees +- 11 degrees and…

We report the results of some recent E791 charm analyses. They include: 1) a search for rare and forbidden decays, 2) measurements of form factors for D+ --> K*,l,nu and Ds --> phi,l,nu, and 3) Ds and D0 lifetime measurements including the…

We measure the B0 lifetime \tau_{B0} and the B0-B0bar oscillation frequency \Delta m_d with a sample of approximately 14,000 exclusively reconstructed B0 --> D*- l+ nu signal events, selected from 23 million BBbar pairs recorded at the…

We review results from FNAL E791 concerning D0-D0bar mixing and CP violation in D meson decays. We have searched for mixing in semileptonic D0 -> K+\ell-\bar{\nu} decays and in hadronic D0 -> K+\pi- and D0 -> K+\pi-\pi+\pi- decays. We have…

We report measurements of charm-mixing parameters based on the decay-time-dependent ratio of $D^0\to K^+\pi^-$ to $D^0\to K^-\pi^+$ rates. The analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity…

$D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing leads to the mass and width differences in the mass eigenstates of $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$ mesons (measured by parameters $x^{~}_D$ and $y^{~}_D$ respectively), but their magnitudes cannot be reliably predicted by the…

The basic physics of quantum-correlated D0, D0bar pairs produced at threshold via decays of the $\psi(3770)$ is introduced. The connection to extractions of the CKM angle $\gamma$ ($\phi_3$) from $B$ decays is emphasized throughout. Recent…

The processes $D^0\to K^0 K^-\pi^+$ and $D^0\to\ok K^+\pi^-$ involve intermediate vector resonances whose amplitudes and phases are related to each other via flavor-SU(3) symmetry. Dalitz plots for these two processes can shed light on the…
