We observe $D^0-bar{D}^0$ mixing in the decay $D^0rightarrow K^+pi^-$ using a data sample of integrated luminosity 976 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ asymmetric-energy collider. We measure the mixing parameters ${x}^2 = (0.09pm0.22)times 10^{-3}$ and $y = (4.6pm3.4)times 10^{-3}$ and the ratio of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed to Cabibbo-favored decay rates $R_D = (3.53pm0.13)times 10^{-3}$, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic combined. Our measurement excludes the no-mixing hypothesis at the 5.1 standard deviation level.

We report a study of the process $e^{+} e^{-} to (D^{*} bar{D}^{*})^{0} pi^0$ using $e^+e^-$ collision data samples with integrated luminosities of $1092 rm{pb}^{-1}$ at $sqrt{s}=4.23 rm{GeV}$ and $826 rm{pb}^{-1}$ at $sqrt{s}=4.26 rm{GeV}$ collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. We observe a new neutral structure near the $(D^{*} bar{D}^{*})^{0}$ mass threshold in the $pi^0$ recoil mass spectrum, which we denote as $Z_{c}(4025)^{0}$. Assuming a Breit-Wigner line shape, its pole mass and pole width are determined to be $(4025.5^{+2.0}_{-4.7}pm3.1) rm{MeV}/c^2$ and $(23.0pm 6.0pm 1.0) rm{MeV}$, respectively. The Born cross sections of $e^{+}e^{-}to Z_{c}(4025)^{0} pi^0to (D^{*} bar{D}^{*})^{0}pi^0$ are measured to be $(61.6pm8.2pm9.0) rm{pb}$ at $sqrt{s}=4.23 rm{GeV}$ and $(43.4pm8.0pm5.4) rm{pb}$ at $sqrt{s}=4.26 rm{GeV}$. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
Using 1.8 million DDbar pairs and a neutrino reconstruction technique, we have studied the decays D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e, D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e, D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e, and D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ nu_e. We find B(D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e) = 0.299(11)(9)%, B(D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ nu_e) = 0.373(22)(13)%, B(D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e) = 3.56(3)(9)%, and B(D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e) = 8.53(13)(23)%. In addition, form factors are studied through fits to the partial branching fractions obtained in five q^2 ranges. By combining our results with recent unquenched lattice calculations, we obtain |Vcd| = 0.217(9)(4)(23) and |Vcs| = 1.015(10)(11)(106).
Several intermediate states of the reaction channels $e^{+}e^{-} rightarrow pi^{+} pi^{-} D^{0} bar{D}^{0}$ and $e^{+}e^{-} rightarrow pi^{+} pi^{-} D^{+}D^{-}$ are studied using the data samples collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies above 4.08 GeV. For the first time in this final state, a $psi(3770)$ signal is seen in the $Dbar{D}$ invariant mass spectrum, with a statistical significance of $5.2sigma$ at $sqrt{s} = 4.42$ GeV. There is also evidence for this resonance at $sqrt{s}$ = 4.26 and 4.36 GeV with statistical significance of 3.2$sigma$ and 3.3$sigma$, respectively. In addition, the Born cross section of $e^{+}e^{-}to pi^{+}pi^{-}psi(3770)$ is measured. The proposed heavy-quark-spin-symmetry partner of the $X(3872)$, the state $X_{2}(4013)$, is also searched for in the $Dbar{D}$ invariant mass spectra. No obvious signal is found. The upper limit of the Born cross section of the process $e^{+}e^{-}to rho^{0}X_{2}(4013)$ combined with the branching fraction is measured. Also, the processes $e^{+}e^{-}to D_{1}(2420)bar{D} + c.c.$ are investigated. The neutral mode with $D_{1}(2420)^{0}to D^{0}pi^{+}pi^{-}$ is reported with statistical significance of 7.4$sigma$ at $sqrt{s} = 4.42$ GeV for the first time, and evidence with statistical significance of 3.2$sigma$ and 3.3$sigma$ at $sqrt{s}$ = 4.36 and 4.60 GeV is seen, respectively. No evident signal for the process $e^{+}e^{-}to D_{1}(2420)^{0}bar{D}^{0} + c.c., D_{1}(2420)^{0}to D^{*+}pi^{-}$ is reported. Evidence for $e^{+}e^{-}to D_{1}(2420)^{+}D^{-} +~c.c., D_{1}(2420)^{+}to D^{+}pi^{+}pi^{-}$ is reported with statistical significance of 3.1$sigma$ and 3.0$sigma$ at $sqrt{s}$ = 4.36 and 4.42 GeV, respectively.
Using a sample of 1.8 million DDbar meson pairs collected at the psi(3770) with the CLEO-c detector, we study the semileptonic decays D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e, D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ u_e, D^0 -> K^- e^+ u_e, and D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e. For the total branching fractions we find B(D^0 -> pi^- e^+ u_e) = 0.299(11)(9)%, B(D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ u_e) = 0.373(22)(13)%, B(D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e) = 3.56(3)(9)%, and B(D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e) = 8.53(13)(23)%, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. In addition, form factors are studied through fits to the partial branching fractions obtained in five q^2 ranges. By combining our results with recent unquenched lattice calculations, we obtain |Vcd| = 0.217(9)(4)(23) and |Vcs| = 1.015(10)(11)(106), where the final error is theoretical.
We report a study of the processes of $e^+e^-to K^+ (D_s^- D^{*0} + D^{*-}_s D^0)$ based on $e^+e^-$ annihilation samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at BEPCII at five center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.628 to 4.698 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 3.7 fb$^{-1}$. An excess over the known contributions of the conventional charmed mesons is observed near the $D_s^- D^{*0}$ and $D^{*-}_s D^0$ mass thresholds in the $K^{+}$ recoil-mass spectrum for events collected at $sqrt{s}=4.681$ GeV. The structure matches a mass-dependent-width Breit-Wigner line shape, whose pole mass and width are determined as $(3982.5^{+1.8}_{-2.6}pm2.1)$ MeV/$c^2$ and $(12.8^{+5.3}_{-4.4}pm3.0)$ MeV, respectively. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The significance of the resonance hypothesis is estimated to be 5.3 $sigma$ over the contributions only from the conventional charmed mesons. This is the first candidate of the charged hidden-charm tetraquark with strangeness, decaying into $D_s^- D^{*0}$ and $D^{*-}_s D^0$. However, the properties of the excess need further exploration with more statistics.
