Abstract

The CLEO collaboration proposes to explore the charm sector starting early 2003. It is foreseen to collect on the order of 6 million D D-bar pairs, 300000 Ds Ds-bar pairs at threshold and one billion J/psi decays. High precision charm data will enable us to validate upcoming Lattice QCD calculations that are expected to produce 1-3% errors for some non-perturbative QCD quantities. These can then be used to improve the accuracy of CKM elements. The radiative J/psi decays will be the first high statistics data set well suited for meson spectroscopy between 1600 and 3000 MeV.
