Title: "The charm of New Physics at the Large Hadron Collider"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract:

Discrepancies between theory and measurements of lower-energy quantities may 
reveal virtual contributions of non-standard-model particles or interactions prior to 
their direct observation. Historically, this "indirect" approach has been rewarding, 
especially in the quark-flavor sector. The LHCb experiment at the LHC proton-proton 
collider has access to the world's largest samples of charmed meson decays.
I review recent charm physics results, focusing on a few that have the potential to 
challenge the standard model.
