CDF Charm Production at the Tevatron

R. Lander

This talk gives a brief overview of some of the CDF analyses involving charm production. New CDF triggers add a ``charm factory'' role for CDF and lead to huge data sets. Results on the J/{ITALIC \Psi } cross section and charm decay rate ratios are given, along with limits on CP asymmetry and flavor-changing-neutral currents. The X(3872) object reported by the Belle Collaboration is confirmed at the Tevatron, but the charm pentaquark reported by the H1 Collaboration is not in in evidence at this time at CDF. A search for anomalies in the production of displaced jets plus a hard photon found no deviations from QCD expectations. Finally, a mention is made of the Tevatron's improved luminosity.
