The charm of New Physics at LHC

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. Histori- cally, this indirect approach has been rewarding, especially in the quark-avor sector. The LHCb experiment at the LHC proton- proton collider has access to the worlds 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.
