BRIEF REVIEW OF CHARM PHYSICS

Charm physics has attracted increased attention after the first evidence for charm mixing was observed in 2007. The level of attention has risen sharply after LHCb reported first evidence for CP violation in the charm sector. Neither mixing nor CP violation have been established by a single unambiguous measurement to date. This review covers the status of mixing and CP violation measurements and comments on the challenges on the road ahead, both on the experimental and theoretical side, and on ways to tackle them.
