8. Light meson spectroscopy Low-lying charmonium states decay into light hadrons with relatively small multiplicity Choosing specific cc-meson decay mode one can study states with practically any quantum numbers Example: B(J/    )=0.5%  5  10 9 tagged   mesons. Recently CLEO performed precise measurement of   mass and observed decay    3 . Search for glueballs (gg) and hybrids (qqg)

10.

B-factories  10 10 charmed hadrons

11. Advantages of near threshold production Particle multiplicity at 3.77 GeV is about two times lower than at 10.6 GeV Two body production e + e -  DD. This allows to use double tag method: fully reconstruct one D then either fully reconstruct the other D (absolute branching ratios) or look for events with one missing particle (leptonic, semileptonic decays) Coherent production of D pairs allows to use quantum correlations for D-meson mixing and CP violation studies

12. Leptonic and semileptonic decays Measurement decay constants and form factors. Improve understanding of hadronization mechanisms. Validation of lattice QCD. With improved theoretical input  determination Vcs and Vcd. Important for B-physics  extracting Vub from semileptonic B decay. Current lattice values: f D =207  4 MeV f Ds =241  3 MeV Experiment (CLEO): f D =206  9 MeV f Ds =270  8 MeV Tau-charm factory can provide measurement of the decay constants with accuracy better than 0.5%.

13. Semileptonic decays o.5% accuracy of BF10 6 events

16. D-mixing at tau-charm factory Only time integrated measurements Study of quantum correlations in e + e -  D 0 D 0 (  0 ) (C-odd) and e + e -  D 0 D* 0  D 0 D 0  (C-even) At  (3770) R M =(x 2 +y 2 )/2 can be measured using the ratios For 10 9 D-pairs about 150 events will be detected. Sensitivity to R M is about 5  10 -6

17. D-mixing at C-tau factory Probabilities of inclusive decays are proportional to (1  y). S + or S - are CP-even or CP-odd final states. For 10 9 D-pairs sensitivity for y is about 8  10 -4 Fit of the inclusive and exclusive rates for decays of DDbar system into different final states allows to determine x, y, r f and  f. Expected sensitivity to mixing parameters: 1 ab -1 at tau-charm factory = 10 ab -1 at Super B-factory

18. Search for CP-violation Direct CP violation in D decays is expected to be small in SM. For CF and DCS decays direct CP violation requires New Physics. Exception: D   K S,L   with A CP =3.3  10 -3. For Singly Cabibbo Suppressed (SCS) decays SM CPV could reach 10 -3. Best limits: Belle: D 0  K + K -,  +  - A CP (K + K - )=(0.43  0.30  0.11)% A CP (  +  - )=(0.43  0.52  0.12)% CLEO: D +  K S  +, K S  +  0 A CP (K S  + )=(-0.6  1.0  0.3)% A CP (K S  +  0 )=(0.3  0.9  0.3)% At Tau-charm factory CP asymmetry can be tested with 10 -3 sensitivity for many final states.

19. Search for CP-violation CV violation in mixing: With 10 9 D-pairs about 30 (K + e - )(K + e - ) events will be detected. |q/p| can be measured with 6% accuracy. Current value is 0.86  0.16 Use of quantum correlations: At  (3770) : f1 and f 2 are CP eigenstates of the same CP-parity. The decay D 0 D 0  f 1 f 2 is forbidden by CP-invariance. The rate is proportional to difference CP-breaking parameters for f 1 and f 2. 10 9 D pairs  10 -3 difference between  +  - and K + K - final states. Similar approach can be used for final states with different CP-parities in e + e -  D 0 D o  reaction.

20. Search for CP-violation For C-odd D 0 D 0 state CPV in mixing does not contribute to asymmetry, for C-even state it contributes with twice intensity. For multibody final states the analysis of Dalitz plots and T-odd moments distribution can increase sensitivity to CPV effects. Tau-charm factory can provide 10 -3 sensitivity for CPV in D-decays Using quantum correlations allows to separate contributions from direct CPV and CPV in mixing
