isoscalar

In particle physics, isoscalar refers to the scalar transformation of a particle or field under the SU(2) group of isospin.{{cite journal |last1=Bracco |first1=A.|author1-link=Angela Bracco |last2=Lanza |first2=E.

Mesons which have all flavor quantum numbers equal to zero, are known as isoscalars.
