Seventh Try's a Charm

Seventh try's a charm: ventricular fibrillation terminated by the seventh shock.

A 49-year-old man consulted our department 3 months after having several implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks with subsequent syncope. A CRT-D device (Boston Scientific, Cognis 100-D) and a single-element subcutaneous array (Medtronic, model 6996 SQ) had been implanted 2 years previously for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death caused by symptomatic (New York Heart Associat...

The Charm Physics Potential of a Tax&charm Factory*

The charm physics program accessible to a Tau-Charm Factory is summarized. Semileptonic,’ leptonic, hadronic, rare and forbidden charm decay modes are discussed, as well as 00 charm sector. The theoretical b” mixing and CP violation in the 73 ectations in the Standard Model and beyond as well as the experiment capabilities of a Tau-Charm Factory are examined for each of the above processes.

Semileptonic Charm Decay at a Tau Charm Factory *

The full spectrum of Df3 and Dl4 semileptonic decays can be precisely measured at a Tau Charm Factory. Sensitivety to rare semileptonic decays extends to branching fractions as small as 10m3. Improved measurements of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maska wa matrix elements V,, and Vcd can be obtained. With an improved theoretical understanding, semileptonic measurements can test the unitarity of the second r...
