The '''charm quark''' or '''c quark''' (from its symbol, ''c'') is the third most massive of all [[quark]]s, a type of [[elementary particle]], and a major constituent of [[matter]]. Charm quarks are found in [[hadron]]s, which are [[subatomic particle]]s made of quarks. Example of hadrons containing charm quarks include the [[J/ψ]] meson ({{SubatomicParticle|J/Psi}}), [[D meson]]s ({{SubatomicParticle|D}}), [[charmed Sigma baryon]]s ({{SubatomicParticle|charmed Sigma}}), and other [[charmed particle]]s.
It, along with the [[strange quark]] is part of the [[generation (physics)|second generation]] of matter, and has an [[electric charge]] of +{{frac|2|3}} [[elementary charge|e]] and a [[Quark#Mass|bare mass]] of {{val|1.27|+0.07|-0.
The existence of a fourth quark had been speculated by a number of authors around 1964 (for instance by [[James Bjorken]] and [[Sheldon Lee Glashow|Sheldon Glashow]]<ref>
