On the Brink of Major Discoveries in Weak Charm Decays – a Bismarckian Chance to Make History
نویسنده
چکیده
The recently obtained strong evidence for D − D̄ oscillations from the B factories provides an important benchmark in our search for New Physics in charm transitions. While the theoretical verdict on the observed values of xD and yD is ambiguous – they could be fully generated by SM dynamics, yet could contain also a sizable contribution from New Physics – such oscillations provide a new stage for CP violation driven by New Physics. After emphasizing the unique role of charm among up-type quarks, I describe in some detail the CP phenomenology for charm decays.

We analyze three-body decays of and . Under the factorization approach, there are tree level diagrams for these decay modes and the transition matrix element of decay is factorized into a form factor multiplied by decay constant and form factor multiplied into weak vertices form factor. The transition matrix element of decay is also factorized into a form factor multiplied into weak vertic...

In this research we described the effective Hamiltonian theory and applied this theory to the calculation of current-current (Q1,2) and QCD penguin (Q3,…,6) c quark decay rates. We calculated the decay rates of semileptonic and hadronic of charm quark in the effective Hamiltonian theory. We investigated the decay rates of D meson decays according to Spectator Quark Model (SQM) for the calculati...

— After briefly recapitulating the history of the charm quantum number we sketch the experimental environments and instruments employed to study the behaviour of charm hadrons and then describe the theoretical tools for treating charm dynamics. We discuss a wide range of inclusive production processes before analyzing the spectroscopy of hadrons with hidden and open charm and the weak lifetimes...
