Abstract

The charm quark's mass is determined from Monte Carlo calculations of the cc spectrum. The main sources of uncertainty are perturbation theory (for conversion to \MSbar), the continuum-limit extrapolation, Monte Carlo statistics, and the effects of quenching. The (preliminary) result for the \MSbar mass is m_ch(m_ch)=1.33± 0.08 GeV.
