We report on a measurement of D0-D0bar mixing and a search for CP violation in the D0->K+K-, pi+pi- and K+-pi-+ channels. We use D0's coming from D*+ decays, so that the flavour of the D0 at production is tagged by the charge of the pion…
Motivated by the $3.8\sigma$ deviation from no CP violation hypothesis for the CP asymmetry (CPA) difference between $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+ \pi^-$, reported recently by LHCb and CDF, we investigate the CP violating effect due to…
I review the status of CP violation in the Standard Model from the combination of flavour constraints within the CKMfitter frequentist approach and I describe studies of New Physics restricted to the Delta F=2 sector to explain recent…
In view of the discovery potential associated with the future experiments of high-luminosity fixed target facilities, B-meson factories and \tau-charm factories, we highlight some typical signals of D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing and CP violation…
The search for $D^0\bar{D}^0$ mixing carries a large discovery potential for new physics since the $D^0\bar{D}^0$ mixing rate is expected to be very small in the Standard Model. The past decade has seen significant experimental progress in…
The observation of a sizable direct CP asymmetry in the inclusive decays B -> X_s gamma would be a clean signal of New Physics. In the Standard Model, this asymmetry is below 1% in magnitude. In extensions of the Standard Model with new…
$D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing at a detectable level requires the presence of new physics and may lead to some observable effects in weak decays of $B$ mesons. We show that $CP$ violation induced by $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing can manifest itself in the…
A summary of recent progress in charm mixing and CP violation is presented, with a heavy bias towards experimental results.
Recent evidence for direct CP violation in non-leptonic charm decays cannot be easily accommodated within the Standard Model (SM). On the other hand, it fits well in new physics models generating CP violating Delta C=1 chromomagnetic dipole…
Although CP violation is predicted to be small in the Standard Model, there exists a continuing theoretical interest within the charm sector due to enhancements of CPV through new physics processes. We present an overview of the…
We analyse the most recent experimental data regarding D^0 - \bar{D^0} mixing, allowing for CP violation. We focus on the dispersive part of the mixing amplitude, M^D_{12}, which is sensitive to new physics contributions. We obtain a…
Rare charm decays offer the unique possibility to explore flavour-changing neutral-currents in the up-sector within the Standard Model and beyond. Due to the lack of effective methods to reliably describe its low energy dynamics, rare charm…
Charm procceses are usually not considered to be favorable candidates in the search for new physics. Recent disagreement between experimental and lattice QCD results on the D_s decay constant has motivated us to systematically reinvestigate…
Direct CP violation beyond the standard model can be produced in charged D decays to final states with a $K_S$ by small new physics contributions to the transitions $D^+ \to K^o X^+$, where $X^+$ denotes any positively charged hadronic…
There have been great advances in charm physics at the B-factories in recent years, including the observation of D0-D0bar mixing and the discovery of many new hidden-charm states, some of them presumably exotic in structure. This talk…
Recent CLEO results on neutral charm meson decays presented at the XXXVIth Rencontres de Moriond are discussed. We find no evidence of CP asymmetry in five different two-body decay modes of the D0 to pairs of light pseudo-scalar mesons. We…
Current HFAG averages of the mixing and CP violation parameters in the $D^0$ meson system is to be reviewed. We present recent Belle measurements of the mixing parameters $x$ and $y$ using $D^0\rightarrow K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$, and $y_{CP}$ and…
After pointing out the amazing success of the CKM description in accommodating the phenomenology of flavour changing neutral currents I review the status of theoretical technologies for extracting CKM parameters from data. I sketch novel…
It is possible that the low-energy effects of physics beyond the standard model can be parametrized mainly by anomalous couplings of quarks to the W boson. Such couplings can generate potentially significant contributions to various…
Small CPT-violating effects are admissible in several theories beyond the Standard Model of interactions. We analyse experimental data obtained with neutral flavoured meson mixing and place bounds on the scale of such phenomena. The…
