This paper presents the results of searches for the flavor-changing neutral current, lepton-number-violating and lepton-flavor-violating processes in the charm mesons decays. Recent results from charged $D$ mesons decays to final states with dielectrons from CLEO-c are reported. The prospects of the searches for the rare charm decays at BES-III are also discussed.

The CLEO-c experiment has been collecting data at the charm-threshold region. A selection of recent results on charmed meson and charmonia decays are presented.
We have searched for flavor-changing neutral current decays and lepton-number-violating decays of D^+ and D^+_s mesons to final states of the form h^+- e^-+ e^+, where h is either pi or K. We use the complete samples of CLEO-c open-charm data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 818 pb^-1 at the center-of-mass energy E_CM = 3.774 GeV containing 2.4 x 10^6 D^+D^- pairs and 602 pb^-1 at E_CM = 4.170 GeV containing 0.6 x 10^6 D^*+-_s D^-+_s pairs. No signal is observed in any channel, and we obtain 90% confidence level upper limits on branching fractions B(D^+ --> pi^+ e^+ e^-) < 5.9 x 10^-6, B(D^+ --> pi^- e^+ e^+) < 1.1 x 10^-6, B(D^+ --> K^+ e^+ e^-) < 3.0 x 10^-6, B(D^+ --> K^- e^+ e^+) < 3.5 x 10^-6, B(D^+_s --> pi^+ e^+ e^-) < 2.2 x 10^-5, B(D^+_s --> pi^- e^+ e^+) < 1.8 x 10^-5, B(D^+_s --> K^+ e^+ e^-) < 5.2 x 10^-5, and B(D^+_s --> K^- e^+ e^+) < 1.7 x 10^-5.
A search is performed for rare and forbidden charm decays of the form $D_{(s)}^+ to h^pm ell^+ ell^{(prime)mp}$, where $h^pm$ is a pion or kaon and $ell^{()pm}$ is an electron or muon. The measurements are performed using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.6text{fb}^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment in 2016. No evidence is observed for the 25 decay modes that are investigated and $90%$ confidence level limits on the branching fractions are set between $1.4times10^{-8}$ and $6.4times10^{-6}$. In most cases, these results represent an improvement on existing limits by one to two orders of magnitude.
This physics book provides detailed discussions on important topics in $tau$-charm physics that will be explored during the next few years at bes3 . Both theoretical and experimental issues are covered, including extensive reviews of recent theoretical developments and experimental techniques. Among the subjects covered are: innovations in Partial Wave Analysis (PWA), theoretical and experimental techniques for Dalitz-plot analyses, analysis tools to extract absolute branching fractions and measurements of decay constants, form factors, and CP-violation and DzDzb-oscillation parameters. Programs of QCD studies and near-threshold tau-lepton physics measurements are also discussed.
The charmonium system provides an opportunity to explore a wide variety of topics in hadronic physics. Studies of the properties of and transitions among cc-bar states yield insight into relativistic and non-perturbative QCD effects. At the same time, studies of the decays of charmonium states are a window into gluon dynamics and the role of glueball mixing in the production of light quark states. A collection of preliminary results utilizing the full CLEO-c psi(2S) data sample is presented including two-body branching fractions of chi_cJ decays, a precision measurement of the h_c mass, and results on the hindered M1 transition: psi(2S) -> gamma eta_c.
