Description

Charm physics, which involves a heavy up-type quark, offers a unique environment in which to search for new particles and couplings beyond the Standard Model. Studies with charmed hadron decays complement those in B physics, expanding the potential to observe beyond Standard Model phenomena. The Belle II experiment has an active charm physics program that includes studies of rare decays, CP violation, flavor mixing, and spectroscopy. This talk will include a review of the status and prospects for the charm physics program at Belle and Belle II.
