Weak Interactions Effect on the P‐N Mass Splitting and the Principle Of Equivalence

The neutron-proton mass difference is computed from a model-indepentent sum rule. When this contribution is included in the analysis of the Eotvos experiment, the bound for possible weak interactions violations to the equivalence principle is improved by one order of magnitude from 10⁻² to 10⁻³....
