A search is performed for rare and forbidden charm decays of the form $D_{(s)}^+ \to h^\pm \ell^+ \ell^{(\prime)\mp}$, where $h^\pm$ is a pion or kaon and $\ell^{(')\pm}$ is an electron or muon. The measurements are performed using…
Using a large sample of photoproduced charm mesons from the FOCUS experiment at Fermilab (FNAL-E831), we observe the decay $D^0\to K^+\pi^-$ with a signal yield of $149\pm31$ events compared to a similarly cut sample consisting of $36760…
We have searched for flavor-changing neutral current decays and lepton-number-violating decays of D^+ and D^+_s mesons to final states of the form h^+- e^-+ e^+, where h is either \pi or K. We use the complete samples of CLEO-c open-charm…
Search for new physics with charm rare decays at BESIII. The BESIII experiment has collected 2.6 billion $\psi(3686)$ events, 10 billion $J/\psi$ events, $20 fb^{-1}$ D meson pairs at 3.773 GeV, and $7.33 fb^{-1}~D_{s}D_{s}^{*}$ events from…
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 discuss prospects for detecting the two charm-related phenomena of $D^0$-${\bar D}^0$ mixing and weak radiative decays of $D$ mesons ({\it e.g.} $D\to K^* + \gamma$). A general update of particle-antiparticle mixing for the pseudoscalar…
