dc.descriptionExperimental tests performed in the past to determine quark charges are reviewed. It is pointed out that only experiments involving two real photons can really distinguish between the Gell-Mann-Zweig scheme of fractional charges from the Han-Nambu scheme of integer charges in the context of a theory with gauged colour interactions. While many experiments with two real photons have been performed, the only experiment with a definitive statement on quark charges was one on hard scattering of real photons at CERN. Some theoretical issues not fully resolved are pointed out.
