D(s)+ Decays and their CPV

Abstract

Hadronic decays of the charmed mesons D 0 , D + , and D + s offer unique opportunities to probe weak and non-perturbative strong dynamics. This includes the study of long-distance hadronic effects, the approximate symmetries of strong interactions, and precision tests of the Standard Model. The CP violating asymmetries in charm provide a unique of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this report we summarize recent CLEO-c and Belle measurements of hadronic branching fractions of D (s) decays to two pseudoscalar mesons and measurements searching for CP violation in these decays.
