Abstract
Measurements are presented of the inclusive cross section for K (892) +/- production in hadronic decays of the Z0 using a sample of about ha lf a million events recorded with the OPAL experiment at LEP. Charged K mesons are reconstructed in the decay channel K(S)0pi+/-. A mean ra te of 0.72 +/- 0.02 +/- 0.08 K+/- mesons per hadronic event is found. Comparison of the results with predictions of the JETSET and HERWIG m odels shows that JETSET overestimates the K+/- production cross secti on while HERWIG is consistent with the data.
