Mixing and Violation in the Charm System

Abstract

In recent years charm physics has undergone a renaissance, which has been catalyzed by an unexpected and impressive set of experimental results from the factories, the Tevatron, and LHCb. The existence of oscillations is now well established, and the recent discovery of violation in 0 decays has further renewed interest in the charm sector. In this article, we review the current status of charm-mixing and -violation measurements and assess their agreement with theoretical predictions within the Standard Model and beyond. We look forward to the great improvements in experimental precision that can be expected over the coming two decades and to the prospects for corresponding advances in theoretical understanding.
