Tanaka, K

A formalism is proposed which can give a smaller mass for the charged than for the neutral K meson, but a larger mass for the charged than for the neutral pi meson. The theoretical prediction agrees with the experimental mass difference M(K/sup 0/) - M(K/sup +/) approx equal 9.4 electron masses if the rms radius of the charge distribution of the K meson is equal to 0.48 x 10/sup - 13/) cm.
