Large charge-symmetry violation in high-energy collisions of atomic nuclei
Strong interactions approximately preserve charge symmetry between up and down quarks, which is a subset of the broader flavour symmetry. In the context of kaon production, if charge symmetry were exact and the ensemble of initial states remained invariant under charge transformations, the production rates of charged and neutral kaons in collisions would be equal.
In this presentation, I will report and discuss results on the relative abundance of charged versus neutral kaons produced in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. The findings reveal a significant, yet unexplained, violation of charge symmetry.
