Description

D0 oscillations, for which the B factories have found strong evidence, provide a new stage for our search for New Physics in heavy flavour dynamics. 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 can enhance the observability of CP violation driven by New Physics. After emphasizing the unique role of charm among up-type quarks, I sketch the CP phenomenology for partial widths and final state distributions
