We review the recent results on D and Ds meson semileptonic decays from CLEO-c. Comparisons with lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD) calculations and implications for B physics are also discussed.
The semileptonic decays of $B_q$ mesons ($q=u,d,s$) to $J^P=2^+$ charmed mesons are investigated. The form factors parametrising the hadronic matrix elements of the weak vector and axial-vector quark currents are evaluated using light-cone…
After the completion of data taking at HERA-2, a large data set is at hand to study the photoproduction of charm and beauty quarks in ep collisions. New measurements of charm production based on D^* meson tagging and beauty production based…
Results on open charm and beauty production and on the search for top production in high-energy electron-proton collisions at HERA are reviewed. This includes a discussion of relevant theoretical aspects, a summary of the available…
Electrons from semileptonic decays of heavy-flavor mesons (D and B) allow to study the energy loss of heavy-quarks in nuclear collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV at RHIC. Since pQCD calculations have shown that the crossing point where bottom…
Recent developments in charm physics within the standard model and beyond are reviewed. The precision study of leptonic charm meson decays accompanied with the constraints coming from K, B and tau physics enables to determine constraints on…
This talk summarizes the status of the charmonium system, with particular emphasis on outstanding problems in QCD spectroscopy which a tau-charm factory can address.
The next generation tau-charm factory, the third Beijing Electron Spectrometer (BESIII) at the new Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII), has begun data collection. I discuss the flavor physics reach of the BESIII charm program and…
There now exist several theoretical technologies for treating weak decays of heavy flavour hadrons that are genuinely based on QCD without having to invoke a deus ex machina. I focus on one of those, which employs an expansion in inverse…
$\tau$ decays provide a powerful tool to test the structure of the weak currents and the universality of their couplings to the $W$ boson. The constraints implied by present data and the possible improvements at the $\tau$-charm Factory are…
We analyze charm meson semileptonic decays using the measured ratios $\Gamma_L/\Gamma_T$ and $\Gamma_{+}/\Gamma_{-}$ from $D\to {\bar K}^{*}$ and the branching ratios for $D \to {\bar K}^{*}$ and $D \to {\bar K}$. First we introduce the…
In this talk, we present the recent results of charm physics from the BESIII experiment. It covers the studies of the pure leptonic and semi-leptonic decays of charmed hadrons, from which the |Vcs| are precisely determined and the LFU is…
Semileptonic $b$-hadron decays proceed via charged-current interactions and provide powerful probes for testing the Standard Model and searching for New Physics effects. The advantages of studying such decays include the large branching…
The physics of charm has become one of the best laboratories exposing the limitations of the naive constituent quark model and also giving hints into a more mature description of hadron spectroscopy. Recent discoveries are a challenge that…
Semi-leptonic D decays continue to play an important role in the field of flavor physics. During this presentation, recent measurements from pseudo-scalar to pseudo-scalar modes, pseudo-scalar to vector modes, and rare modes will be…
E831-FOCUS is a photoproduction experiment which collected data during the 1996/1997 fixed target run at Fermilab. More than 1 million charm particles have been reconstructed. Using this sample we measure the lifetimes of all the weakly…
Recent Lattice QCD results are reviewed with an emphasis on spectroscopic results concerning the charm quark. It is demonstrated that, with accurate computations from lattice QCD in recent years that can be compared with the existing or…
Current experimental information on the charm meson decay observables in which the $c\to s\ell\nu_\ell$ transitions occur is well compatible with the Standard Model predictions. Recent precise lattice calculations of the $D_s$ meson decay…
After sketching heavy quark expansions as applied to heavy flavour decays I emphasize the relevance of nonperturbative dynamics at the charm scale for exclusive $b\to c$ modes. I address the issue of quark-hadron duality for charm and…
Semileptonic $B_{(s)}$ decays are of great phenomenological interest because they allow to extract CKM matrix elements or test lepton flavour universality. Taking advantage of existing data, we explore extracting form factors for vector…
