D0 - D0bar mixing: theory basics

TL;DR

This paper reviews how recent experimental data on D0 - D0bar mixing informs the understanding of the underlying theoretical parameters, with a focus on implications for the MSSM.

Contribution

It analyzes the integration of new experimental results into theoretical models, especially within the MSSM framework, highlighting their impact on fundamental mixing parameters.

Findings

Experimental data constrains theoretical mixing parameters.

Implications for MSSM are discussed.

Provides a synthesis of data and theory in D0 - D0bar mixing.

Abstract

I discuss how the novel experimental data on D0 - D0bar mixing can be combined to provide information on the fundamental theoretical quantities describing the mixing itself. I then discuss the theoretical impact of the new data, focusing in particular on the MSSM.
