Description

The higher statistics available for charm decays are allowing us to probe for new physics with rare decays and see new effects in semileptonic analyses. We explore new limits for rare decays from CLEO, CDF and FOCUS. There is a first result from CLEO for the decay D0 → γγ, an improved measurement of D0 → μ+μ- from CDF, and measurements of D(s)+ → h±μ-+μ+ from FOCUS which has implications for MSSM. We also discuss results that exploit the detailed angular decay distributions in semileptonic decays. FOCUS see evidence for a scalar-like interference in the decay D+ → K-bar*0 μ+ν. In addition to measuring form factor ratios and a pole mass for the decay ΛC+ → Λ0e+ν, CLEO sets a limit for ΛC+ CP asymmetry by measuring the decay asymmetry αΛC+. Finally we compare semileptonic branching ratios and form factor ratios from FOCUS to other experiments. (author)
