Abstract

Precision measurements in charm physics offer a window into a unique sector of potential New Physics interactions. LHCb is poised to become a world leading experiment for charm studies, recording enormous statistics with a detector tailored for flavor physics. This article presents recent charm CPV and mixing studies from LHCb, including LHCb's first CP asymmetry measurement with 37 inverse pb of data collected in 2010. The difference of the CP asymmetries of D0 decays to the K-K+ and \pi-\pi+ final states is determined to be \Delta A_{CP} = (-0.28 +/- 0.70 +/- 0.25)%. Significant updates to the material presented at the 4th International Workshop on Charm Physics are included.
