    Recent results on charm decay physics from the Fermilab Fixed Target program will be presented. There have been many physics results within the past year from experiments E687 and E791 and these will be highlighted. Many of these results are related to rare phenomena and searches. These will become even more interesting with the FOCUS experiment dataset of 1 million fully reconstructed charm decays. Preliminary signals from FOCUS as well as from SELEX will be presented together with prospects for the future. Preliminary results from E835 on the {eta}`{sub c} search will also be presented.

    New high statistics, high resolution fixed target experiments producing $10^5$ - $10^6$ fully reconstructed charm particles are allowing a detailed study of the charm sector. Recent results on charm quark production from Fermilab fixed target experiments E791, SELEX and FOCUS are presented.

    The SELEX experiment (ET781) [1] at Fermilab is a new fixed target multistage spectrometer with high acceptance for forward interactions and decays. It took data in 1996–97 with 600 GeV Σ−, π− and 540 GeV p beams, collecting large sample of charm decays. Preliminary results on charm—anticharm production asymmetries, Λc+ production xF dependence in different beams, Λc+ lifetime, and the first observation of the Cabibbo-suppressed decay Ⅺc+→pK−π+ are presented.
