| Abstract: |
Mixing and CP Violation (CPV) measurements have been of fundamental importance in the construction of the Standard Model as we know it today. The evidence of CPV recently reported by the LHCb and the CDF Collaborations has renewed interest in the charm sector as a place to look for New Physics effects. After a brief historical overview on selected mixing and CPV measurements, I will review the mixing and CPV formalism in the neutral D mesons system, compared to the K and B systems cases. I will then discuss the present experimental status, reporting the latest results from Babar and other experiments. In particular I will describe in more detail the latest mixing and indirect CPV analysis from BaBar that yields the most precise measurement of the mixing parameter yCP with a significance of 3.3 sigma.
