Abstract
An impressive amount of data has been accumulated over the past three years which support strongly the idea that elementary particles are composed of four quarks instead of three. All the predictions based on the existence of the fourth, the charm quark, have in principle been borne out by experiments, and from detailed investigations very interesting results could be obtained for the strong and the weak interaction. Most of these results have been obtained with electron-positron storage rings, and only these will be discussed in this report. Additional data from hadronic or neutrino interactions are in general agreement with the e+e− data and will not be discussed here. This series of lectures will be entirely devoted to a discussion of mesons, i.e. quark — antiquark systems. Although some indications have been found for the existence of charmed baryons, these data are still rather scanty. In the last chapter we shall also discuss the upsilon particle.
