Status and prospects of charm physics: a few considerations
Abstract
Description
Progress in charm physics has been prodigious over the last twenty years; it comes both from fixed target and collider experiments, and can guide us toward future investigations. To fully exploit the power of flavor physics, complications coming from strong dynamics effects have to be dealt with. The role of charm in the search for New Physics, the lessons learnt so far and warnings for the future are briefly discussed.
