Recent studies of charmed baryon spectroscopy, performed by the Belle collaboration, are briefly described. We report the observation of an isotriplet of baryons $\Sigma_c(2800)$ and evidence for two new baryons $\Xi_{cx}(2980)$ and…
I review some recent results on hadronic decays of charmed mesons. These decays illuminate a wide range of physics, including the absolute normalizations of b and c decays, the understanding of D^0 mixing, the coupling of heavy mesons to…
Charmonium spectroscopy with Kogut-Susskind valence quarks are carried out for quenched QCD at $\beta=6.0$ and for two-flavor full QCD at $\beta=5.7$. Results for 1P--1S mass splitting and estimates of $\alpha^{(5)}_{\overline{MS}}(m_Z)$…
We confront predictions for hybrid charmonium and other gluonic excitations in the charm region with recently observed structures in the mass range above 3 GeV. The Y(4260), if resonant, is found to agree with expectations for hybrid…
In the past years there has been a revival of hadron spectroscopy. Many interesting new hadron states were discovered experimentally, some of which do not fit easily into the quark model. This situation motivated a vigorous theoretical…
We present recent results from charmonium and open charm production at the LHCb experiment at CERN, Geneva. We concentrate on studies for the measurement of the cross section pp ->JPsi+X in its decay channel with two muons, showing the…
We review current experimental results on charm mixing and CP violation. We survey experimental techniques, including time-dependent, time-independent, and quantum-correlated measurements. We review techniques that use a slow pion tag from…
In this talk I would like to discuss two aspects of charm physics. One is to show that many standard model predictions for rare decay modes (along with $D^0 -\bar{D}^0$ mixing and CP violation) are extremely small thus opening a window for…
We summarize recent results for charm physics. These results span several categories: charm mixing, indirect (time-dependent) CP violation, direct (time-integrated) CP violation, T violation, semileptonic and leptonic decays, and decays of…
We present a mini-review on charm spectroscopy at the BaBar experiment. We first report on the $c\bar{s}$ meson spectrum, and present precise measurements of the $D_{s1}(2536)$ meson as well as the properties of the many new states…
BESIII had collected large data samples on $J/\psi$ and $\psi^\prime$ peaks during the first run in 2009. From 2010 to 2011, about 2.9 fb$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity were obtained on the peak of $\psi(3770)$ for open charm physics. We…
The last few years have witnessed a renaissance in the spectroscopy of heavy quarks. Several long elusive states have now been firmly identified, and several unexpected states have been reported by the high luminosity experiments at Belle,…
An effective Lagrangian approach based on the heavy quark and chiral symmetry is introduced to analyse the spectroscopy of open charm mesons. Strong two-body decay widths and ratios of branching fractions are computed, and this piece of…
Results obtained in neutrino unteractions on charm particles are presented.
The large data sample accumulated at the KEKB storage ring allows for dedicated analysis in charm spectroscopy. This made the first observations of e.g. the broad D**resonances in B decays as well as other processes possible. The…
A brief overview of charm scalar resonances is given. It is demonstrated that experimental data on the D_s^{*+}gamma and D_s^+pi^0 decays of D_{s0}^+(2317) favor its assignment to the I_3=0 component of iso-triplet four-quark mesons. The…
Recent results from the CDF collaboration are presented on the production of final states containing charm and beauty quarks.
The huge data sample accumulated at the KEKB storage ring allows for dedicated analyses in charm spectroscopy. A new, narrow resonance with a mass of 3.872\GeV was found in decays of $B$ mesons. Its properties remain unexplained. Results on…
I review highlights of recent results in quark-flavor physics and heavy-quark spectroscopy from lattice QCD, with emphasis on $B$-meson decays and excited and exotic charmonium states.
Previous work done in collaboration with David Brink is reviewed in the light of the recent observation of new charmonium-like resonances which can be interpreted as tetraquarks. In the framework of a schematic quark model the spectrum of…
