The perturbative QCD fragmentation functions can be applied phenomenologically as a model for charm and bottom quark fragmentation into heavy-light mesons. The predictions by this model on the observables $P_V$ and $\langle z \rangle$ for…
We investigate the impact of charm mixing on the model-independent gamma measurement using Dalitz plot analysis of the three-body D decay from B+->DK+ process, and show that ignoring the mixing at all stages of the analysis is safe up to a…
CP-violating asymmetries in charm provide a unique probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. I review several topics relevant to searches for CP-violation in charmed meson and baryon transitions.
LHCb continues to expand its world-leading sample of charmed hadrons collected during LHC's Run 1 (2010-2012) and Run 2 (2015-present). This sample is yielding some of the most stringent tests of the Standard Model understanding of charm…

In this talk we summarize our latest results on the study of three-body systems with explicit/hidden charm and with strangeness. In particular, we focus on the $K D D $ and $K D\bar D^*$ systems, where a charm $+2$, isospin $1/2$ and…
Exotic mesons with hidden strange ($s\bar s$) and heavy quark pairs ($Q\bar Q$), where $Q=c,b$, are considered as diquark-antidiquark systems, $(Qs)(\bar Q\bar s)$. Taking into account that these states can recombinate into two-meson ones,…
In this work, we investigate the interactions between the charmed-strange meson ($D_s, D_s^{*}$) in $H$-doublet and the (anti-)charmed-strange meson ($D_{s1}, D_{s2}^{*}$) in $T$-doublet, where the one boson exchange model is adopted by…
The increasing number of flavour anomalies calls for the investigation of new processes where tensions similar to the observed ones could emerge. Observables sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model need to be identified. We discuss…

This note discusses the matter of probing Beyond the Standard Model physics and how, to succeed in this quest, the interpretations of the Standard Model regarding observed phenomena must be utilized with caution. We give several specific…
In charged current deep inelastic scattering charm is dominantly produced in scattering events on strange quarks, thereby allowing for an experimental determination of the nucleon's strange sea density. A measurement of the energy spectrum…
