Charm Physics - Like Botticelli in the Sistine Chapel

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

After sketching heavy quark expansions as applied to heavy flavour decays I emphasize the relevance of nonperturbative dynamics at the charm scale for exclusive bcb\to c modes. I address the issue of quark-hadron duality for charm and discuss both the experimental and theoretical status of D0Dˉ0D^0-\bar D^0 oscillations. Finally I argue that comprehensive CP studies of charm decays provide novel portals to New Physics and suggest benchmark figures for desirable sensitivities.
