Abstract:
Flavor changing neutral current decays in the charm sector are very rare within the standard model, and thus provide a unique environment for searching for new physics. We report tight upper limits on branching fractions of a variety of such processes involving charged and neutral charm mesons and baryons, including processes with lepton-number or lepton-flavor violation. In some cases our limits constrain the parameter spaces of new-physics models.
