Charm Physics at LHCb

The LHCb experiment  has an exciting potential for charm physics studies. A dedicated D*  
trigger will provide a very large sample, 10^8 events per 2 fb-1 of flavour tagged D0->hh 
decays, which will give unprecedented sensitivity in searches for D0 mixing and CP 
violation. The same sample provides an invaluable calibration signal for LHCb performance, 
in particular the RICH detector. This programme will be described, and initial Monte Carlo 
studies presented.
