We present the first ever measurements of femtoscopic correlations between the K0
S and K± particles. The
analysis was performed on the data from Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV measured by the ALICE
experiment. The observed femtoscopic correlations are consistent with final-state interactions proceeding
via the a0(980) resonance. The extracted kaon source radius and correlation strength parameters for
K0
SK− are found to be equal within the experimental uncertainties to those for K0
SK+. Comparing the
results of the present study with those from published identical-kaon femtoscopic studies by ALICE,
mass and coupling parameters for the a0 resonance are tested. Our results are also compatible with
the interpretation of the a0 having a tetraquark structure instead of that of a diquark.
