Lessons from charm dynamics

We shall proceed to discuss the significance of charm dynamics in an era when the Standard Model is well established in its degrees of freedom but little understood in quite a few of its different parts. The study of decays and asymmetries in the decays of mesons with charm quantum numbers provide us possible insights into the yet uncharted dynamics of the Standard Model at the GeV scale. We will discuss some interesting channels with hadrons and/or leptons in the final state, the shortcomings of theoretical structures currently advocated and future experimental prospects.
