10th International Workshop on Charm Physics (CHARM 2020)

Simon Eidelman (1948-2021)

We dedicate this meeting to the memory of Simon Eidelman, who was a fundamental and enthusiastic participant in this CHARM conference series and was -unfortunately- unable to attend this workshop. We ended the event wishing having him back in the next CHARM conference in Shanghai, and it is terribly sad to realize now this will not be possible. 

We will deeply miss a dear friend, an outstanding physicist, and a wonderful person. Always beautifully smiling and willing to help, specially the youngest.

The 10th International Workshop on CHARM Physics will finally take place from May the 31st to June the 4th, 2021. Sadly, in-person conference will not be possible. It will be online via UNAM's Zoom.

Further updates will be posted here and e-mailed to the participants immediately.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments.

--------------------The following message notified the event being delayed-------------

Concerning the coronavirus outbreak:

Dear Colleagues,

The status of the COVID-19 pandemic makes holding CHARM20 next May impossible. We are monitoring the situation closely, and we are in contact with officials at the National Autonomous University and Cinvestav regarding the situation in Mexico City and at Universum, the conference venue. If things improve fast enough we may still celebrate the conference next October. Otherwise it can be delayed until May 2021. If any attendant arrives in the original dates (18-22 May), please contact us so that seminars/colloquia/lectures can be arranged at Cinvestav and UNAM if possible (now both are officially locked down). We will post updates as soon as possible.

Deadlines will be extended according to the new dates (either five months or twelve months, depending on CHARM20 being in mid October 2020 or in mid May 2021).

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments.

The CHARM 2020 LOC

-----------The information below was the original one--------------------

The International Conference CHARM 2020 will be held in Mexico City, Mexico, from May 18 to May 22, 2020, hosted by UNIVERSUM, the science museum of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

The purpose of the CHARM 2020 Workshop is to bring together particle and nuclear physicists working in the field related to physics of the charm quark to discuss recent results in this area, including the impact on and from theory as well as projections for results to be expected from upcoming experimental facilities.

Scientific Program

This year's conference will cover the following topics:

Charm facilities - Status and future
Charmed meson and baryon spectroscopy
Exotics
Production of charm and charmonia
Hidden and open charm in media
Light hadronic spectroscopy from decays of charm and charmonia
Leptonic, semileptonic, radiative and rare charm decays (including new physics scenarios for charm decays)
D oscillations and CP violation
Tau lepton physics
HFLAV & PDG
