✦ Synopsis

The phenomenology of D 0 -D 0 mixing and CP violation is briefly described. Experimental results from BaBar, Belle, CDF, and CLEO-c are reviewed. Results available at the time of the conference show no evidence for mixing or CP violation, and hence limits are set for the mixing parameters x, y, x , y , and several CP-violating parameters. Results are compared to theoretical predictions. Mixing analyses from BaBar and Belle presented subsequent to the conference are also briefly summarised. A preliminary average of these new results shows evidence for mixing at a significance of 5 σ. Finally, future prospects at BESIII, LHCb and a Super B-factory are discussed.
