New Physics from rare decays of charm

TL;DR

This paper discusses how rare charm decays can provide competitive constraints on New Physics models, potentially rivaling direct searches at the LHC, due to increasing charm data from flavor experiments.

Contribution

It highlights the potential of rare D-meson decays to constrain New Physics models, emphasizing their importance alongside collider searches.

Findings

Constraints from charm decays can be competitive with LHC results.

Rare charm decays offer a promising avenue for New Physics searches.

Increased charm data enhances the sensitivity to New Physics effects.

Abstract

Abundance of charm data in the current and future low energy flavor experiments makes it possible to study rare decays of D-mesons with ever increased precision. I discuss theoretical implications of derived constraints on New Physics models from these transitions. I argue that those constraints could be competitive with results of direct searches for New Physics particles (including Dark Matter) at the Large Hadron Collider.
