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