Contribution
It provides new experimental insights into D-meson decay dynamics, light-meson interactions, and updates on pentaquark searches from the FOCUS experiment.
Findings
Insights into D-meson decay mechanisms
Results from Dalitz plot analyses
Updated pentaquark search outcomes
Abstract
Interpretation of D-meson decay-dynamics has revealed itself to be strongly dependent on our understanding of the light-meson sector. The interplay becomes particularly evident in Dalitz plot analyses to study physics within and beyond the Standard Model. Experience and results from FOCUS are presented and discussed. A brief update of the pentaquark search in the experiment is also reported.
