Charm Meson Decays

Abstract

We review some recent developments in charm meson physics. In particular, we discuss theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of charmed meson decays to leptonic, semileptonic, and hadronic final states and implications of such measurements to searches for new physics. We discuss D0-anti-D0-mixing and CP-violation in charm, and discuss future experimental prospects and theoretical challenges in this area.
