Strong interactions preserve an approximate isospin symmetry between up (u) and down (d) quarks, part of the more general flavor symmetry. In case K meson production, if this were exact, it would result in equal numbers charged (K+ K−) neutral (K0 $${\overline{K}}^{0}$$ ) mesons produced collisions isospin-symmetric atomic nuclei. Here, we report results on relative abundance over production argon scandium nuclei at a center-of-mass energy 11.9 GeV per nucleon pair. We find that K+ K−...
