The Standard Model contribution to D0-anti-D0 mixing is dominated by the contributions of light s and d quarks. Neglecting the tiny effects due to b quark, both mass and lifetime differences vanish in the limit of SU(3)_F symmetry. Thus,…
The main challenge in the Standard Model calculation of the mass and width difference in the D0-D0bar system is to estimate the size of SU(3) breaking effects. We prove that D meson mixing occurs in the Standard Model only at second order…
The main challenge in the Standard Model calculation of the mass and width difference in $D^0 - \bar D^0$ mixing is to estimate the size of SU(3) breaking. We prove that mixing occurs in the Standard Model only at second order in SU(3)…
If the true values of the D0-anti-D0 mixing parameters lie within the one sigma ranges of recent measurements, then there is strong evidence for a large width difference, y > 0.01, and large SU(3) breaking effects in strong phases, \delta >…
Mixing in the D0 system may provide a sensitive probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) but has so far eluded experimental observation. The SM predictions are typically small (< 10^{-3}) for the mixing parameters x, y which, in…
The talk reviews the status of Standard Model predictions for lifetimes and mixing rates of charmed mesons. I discuss sources of SU(3) breaking in the hadron state affecting the Delta C = 2 Hamiltonian and argue that they are the dominant…
We study the Standard Model prediction for the mass difference between the two neutral D meson mass eigenstates, $\Delta m$. We derive a dispersion relation based on heavy quark effective theory that relates $\Delta m$ to an integral of the…
The motivation most often cited in searches for D0-anti-D0 mixing lies with the possibility of observing a signal from new physics which dominates that from the Standard Model. We discuss recent theoretical and experimental results in…
We re-visit the problem of non-perturbative contribution to the mass difference in D0-D0bar mixing within the Standard Model (SM). There are two known approaches to take this contribution into account. In the long long-distance approach one…
We review the status of Standard Model predictions for lifetimes and mixing rates of charmed mesons. It is shown that the short distance approach is able to reproduce tau(D^+)/tau(D^0) at leading order in the 1/m_c expansion. SU(3)…
We argue that there could be large, SU(3) violating resonance contributions to D -> K pi decays which would affect the extraction of the D0-anti-D0 mixing parameters from experiment. Such contributions can induce a large strong phase in the…
The motivation most often cited in searches for D0-anti-D0 mixing and CP-violation in charm system lies with the possibility of observing a signal from New Physics which dominates that from the Standard Model. We review recent theoretical…
The BaBar and Belle experiments have recently presented evidence for D-Dbar mixing. We explain the following points: (i) The measurements imply width difference $y \sim 0.01$. In the limit of small CP violation, the CP-odd state is…
In view of difficulty to reproduce observables in the $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing via the operator product expansion, we discuss the Dyson-Schwinger approach to this process. Formulated by the parametrization of quark propagators, SU(3) breaking…
We combine the D0 measurement of the width difference between the light and heavy B_s^0 mass eigenstates and of the CP-violating mixing phase determined from the time-dependent angular distributions in the B_s -> J/psi phi decays along with…
D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing at the detectable level or significant CP violation in the charm system may strongly signify the existence of new physics. In view of the large discovery potential associated with the fixed target experiments, the…
There has been a lot of recent interest in the experimental hints of CP violation in B_{d,s}^0 mixing, which would be a clear signal of beyond the standard model physics (with higher significance). We derive a new relation for the mixing…
Motivated by the similar mass splitting in light-light and heavy-light meson system in $J^{P}=0^{-}$ and $J^{P}=0^{+}$ channel, taking into account the operator mixing to obtain an infrared stable OPE as well as a complete both…
Both BaBar and Belle have found evidence for a non-zero width difference in the $D^0$-$\bar D^0$ system. Although there is no direct experimental evidence for CP-violation in $D$ mixing (yet), we show that the measured values of the width…
The noteworthy BaBar and Belle evidence for $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ mixing motivates us to study its impact on $D^0\to K^{*\pm} K^\mp$ decays and their CP-conjugate processes. We show that both the $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameters ($x$ and…
