1. Charm quark

   The charm quark, charmed quark or c quark (from its symbol, c) is the third-most massive of all quarks, a type of elementary particle. Charm quarks are found in hadrons, which are subatomic particles made of quarks. Examples of hadrons containing charm quarks include the J/ψ meson (J/ψ), D mesons (D), charmed Sigma baryons (Σc), and other charmed particles. It, along with the strange quark, is part of the second generation of matter, and has an electric charge of +2/3 e and a bare mass of 1.275+0.025−0.035 GeV/c2. Like all quarks, the charm quark is an elementary fermion with spin 1/2, and experiences all four fundamental interactions: gravitation, electromagnetism, weak interactions, and strong interactions. The antiparticle of the charm quark is the charm antiquark (sometimes called anticharm quark or simply anticharm), which differs from it only in that some of its properties have equal magnitude but opposite sign. The existence of a fourth quark had been speculated by a number of authors around 1964 (for instance by James Bjorken and Sheldon Glashow), but its prediction is usually credited to Sheldon Glashow, John Iliopoulos and Luciano Maiani in 1970 (see GIM mechanism). Glashow is quoted as saying, "We called our construct the 'charmed quark', for we were fascinated and pleased by the symmetry it brought to the subnuclear world." The first charmed particle (a particle containing a charm quark) to be discovered was the J/ψ meson. It was discovered in 1974 by a team at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), led by Burton Richter, and one at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), led by Samuel Ting.The 1974 discovery of the J/ψ (and thus the charm quark) ushered in a series of breakthroughs which are collectively known as the November Revolution.

1. charm quark

   A charm quark is a type of elementary particle in the Second Generation of Matter in the Standard Model of particle physics, carrying an electric charge of +2/3e. It is one of six types or “flavors” of quarks (the others being up, down, strange, top and bottom). Charm quarks are heavier than up and down quarks, and are known for their involvement in weak force particle reactions. They were first discovered in 1974.

Example of hadrons containing charm quarks include the J/ψ meson, D mesons, charmed Sigma baryons, and other charmed particles. It, along with the strange quark is part of the second generation of matter, and has an electric charge of +²⁄3 e and a bare mass of 1.29+0.05 −0.11 GeV/c². Like all quarks, the charm quark is an elementary fermion with spin-¹⁄2, and experiences all four fundamental interactions: gravitation, electromagnetism, weak interactions, and strong interactions. The antiparticle of the charm quark is the charm antiquark, which differs from it only in that some of its properties have equal magnitude but opposite sign. The existence of a fourth quark had been speculated by a number of authors around 1964, but its prediction is usually credited to Sheldon Glashow, John Iliopoulos and Luciano Maiani in 1970.
