The average of the six charged kaon mass measurements which we use in the Particle Listings is
mK± =493.677 ± 0.013 MeV (S =2.4),(1)
where the error has been increased by the scale factor S.The large scale factor indicates a serious disagreement between different input data.The average before scaling the error is
mK± =493.677 ± 0.005 MeV,
x2 =22.9 for 5 D.F.,Prob.=0.04%,(2)
where the high x2 and correspondingly low x2 probability further quantify the disagreement.
