Charm physics started in the early 1970s and has seen an increased focus on mixing and CP violation in the past decade, following the first observation of mixing in a combination of BaBar and Belle measurements in 2007. Neutral charm mesons are unique as they are the only up-type mesons undergoing oscillations. This talk will review the history of the field, highlights of recent measurements, and prospects for measurements at the future flavour factories Belle II and the LHCb upgrades, commenting also on theoretical challenges. Special attention will be given to the search for CP violation, which has been unsuccessful to date, making charm the only system of neutral mesons where CP violation remains to be discovered.
About the speaker:
Dr Marco Gersabeck is a Lecturer at the University of Manchester where he leads the local LHCb group. He joined LHCb in 2006 and has since chaired the experiment’s Charm Working group and its Speakers’ Bureau. After a CERN Fellowship following his PhD, he joined the University of Manchester in 2012 as an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow. Marco also leads the charm group of the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group. In 2017 he was awarded the IOP HEPP Group Prize for his leadership in charm physics. He is furthermore active in silicon sensor development and member of the RD50 collaboration and is part of the Manchester team participating in the Fermilab Mu2e experiment.
