We report a measurement of the $D^0$ and $D^+$ lifetimes using $D^0to K^-pi^+$ and $D^+to K^-pi^+pi^+$ decays reconstructed in $e^+e^-to cbar{c}$ data recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of $72,{rm fb}^{-1}$. The results, $tau(D^0) = 410.5pm1.1,{rm(stat)}pm0.8,{rm(syst.)},{rm fs}$ and $tau(D^+) = 1030.4pm4.7,{rm(stat)}pm3.1,{rm(syst.)},{rm fs}$, are the most precise to date and are consistent with previous determinations.

We report on a measurement of the flavor-specific $B^{0}_{s}$ lifetime and of the $D^{-}_{s}$ lifetime using proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. Approximately 407 000 $B^{0}_{s} rightarrow D^{(*)-}_{s} mu^{+} u_mu $ decays are partially reconstructed in the $K^{+}K^{-}pi^{-}mu^{+}$ final state. The $B^{0}_{s}$ and $D^{-}_{s}$ natural widths are determined using, as a reference, kinematically similar $B^{0} rightarrow D^{(*)-}mu^{+} u_mu$ decays reconstructed in the same final state. The resulting differences between widths of $B^{0}_{s}$ and $B^{0}$ mesons and of $D^{-}_{s}$ and $D^{-}$ mesons are $Delta_Gamma(B) =-0.0115 pm 0.0053 (stat) pm 0.0041 (syst)$ ps$^{-1}$ and $Delta_Gamma(D) = 1.0131 pm 0.0117 (stat) pm 0.0065 (syst)$ ps$^{-1}$, respectively. Combined with the known $B^{0}$ and $D^{-}$ lifetimes, these yield the flavor-specific $B^{0}_{s}$ lifetime, $tau^{rm fs}_{B^{0}_{s}} = 1.547 pm 0.013 (stat) pm 0.010 (syst) pm 0.004 (tau_{B})$ ps and the $D^{-}_{s}$ lifetime, $tau_{D^{-}_{s}} = 0.5064 pm 0.0030 (stat) pm 0.0017 (syst) pm 0.0017 (tau_{D})$ ps The last uncertainties originate from the limited knowledge of the $B^0$ and $D^{-}$ lifetimes. The results improve upon current determinations.
We measure the branching fractions and $CP$ asymmetries for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^{0}topi^{+}pi^{-}eta$, $D^{0}to K^{+}K^{-}eta$, and $D^{0}tophieta$, using 980 fb$^{-1}$ of data from the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. We obtain begin{eqnarray} mathcal{B}(D^{0}topi^{+}pi^{-}eta) & = & [1.22pm 0.02,({rm stat})pm 0.02,({rm syst})pm 0.03,(mathcal{B}_{rm ref})]times 10^{-3},, onumber mathcal{B}(D^{0}to K^{+}K^{-}eta) & = & [1.80,^{+0.07}_{-0.06},({rm stat})pm 0.04,({rm syst})pm 0.05,(mathcal{B}_{rm ref})]times 10^{-4},, onumber mathcal{B}(D^{0}tophieta) & = & [1.84pm 0.09,({rm stat})pm 0.06,({rm syst})pm 0.05,(mathcal{B}_{rm ref})]times 10^{-4},, onumber end{eqnarray} where the third uncertainty ($mathcal{B}_{rm ref}$) is from the uncertainty in the branching fraction of the reference mode $D^{0}to K^{-}pi^{+}eta$. The color-suppressed decay $D^{0}tophieta$ is observed for the first time, with very high significance. The results for the $CP$ asymmetries are begin{eqnarray} A_{CP}(D^{0}topi^{+}pi^{-}eta) & = & [0.9pm 1.2,({rm stat})pm 0.5,({rm syst})]%,, onumber A_{CP}(D^{0}to K^{+}K^{-}eta) & = & [-1.4pm 3.3,({rm stat})pm 1.1,({rm syst})]%,, onumber A_{CP}(D^{0}tophieta)&= & [-1.9pm 4.4,({rm stat})pm 0.6,({rm syst})]%,. onumber end{eqnarray} The results for $D^{0}topi^{+}pi^{-}eta$ are a significant improvement over previous results. The branching fraction and $A_{CP}$ results for $D^{0}to K^{+}K^{-}eta$, and the $A_{CP}$ result for $D^{0}tophieta$, are the first such measurements. No evidence for $CP$ violation is found in any of these decays.
We report a measurement of the time-integrated $CP$ asymmetry in the neutral charm meson decay $D^0 to K^0_S K^0_S$ using 921~fb$^{-1}$ data collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ and $Upsilon(5S)$ resonances with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The observed asymmetry is $$ A_{CP}(D^0 to K^0_S K^0_S) = (-0.02 pm 1.53 pm 0.17) %, $$ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This latter uncertainty is dominated by the error of the normalisation channel. The result is consistent with Standard Model expectations and improves the uncertainty with respect to previous measurement of this quantity by more than a factor of three.
Charm physics has played all along a central role in particle physics, however the level of attention on it has tremendously increased in the last years because of the observation of fast $D^0-bar{D}^0$ flavour oscillations and because of very recent observed hints of CP violation. While in the past these would have been unambiguously interpreted as signs of New Physics, the revisitation of theoretical expectations, prompted by the latest experimental measurements, makes the picture not clear. This brief review covers the current status of CP-violating measurements in the $D^0-bar{D}^0$ system, both on the experimental and theoretical side.
We report the first measurement of the charm-mixing parameter $y_{CP}$ in $D^{0}$ decays to the $CP$-odd final state $K^{0}_{S}omega$. The study uses the full Belle $e^{+}e^-$ annihilation data sample of $976rm~ fb^{-1}$ taken at or near the $Upsilon(4S)$ centre-of-mass energy. We find $y_{CP} = (0.96 pm 0.91 pm 0.61 {}^{+0.17}_{-0.00})%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic due to event selection and background, and the last is due to possible presence of $CP$-even decays in the data sample.
