The Physics of Charm (A05)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: from 2008 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 35592816

In recent years charm physics has been the focus of experimental efforts, for example at the LHC, BEPC II and KEK, both as part of testing the Standard Model in the search for hints of new physics and through the interest in "exotic" and near-threshold states, many of which do not fit into quark model interpretations. Our goal is to perform simulations where all systematic effects can be reliably quantified for decay constants and form factors needed for testing the Standard Model. We also plan to investigate states near threshold in order to provide information on the internal structure of these non-standard particles.
