What is a charm quark:

There are three different species up, down, Charm, Strange, Top, Bottom. Its a fundamental particle that processes strong charges and electrical charges. Formations of 3 or 2 create composite objects. Protons and neutrons are examples of these composite objects.

A Charm Quark being a second generation quark has a charge of +2/3. Based on my research it is the fourth most massive quark, being about one and a half the the size of a proton; Its about 1.5 GeV/e^2. A Charm goes by this equation (The equations is the Charm Quarks minus the AntiCharm Quark)
