摘要
The weak interaction contribution to the proton-neutron mass difference is computed using a generalization of Cottingham's formula. When included in the analysis of the Eotvos experiment, this contribution reduces the bound on a possible weak interactions violation to the equivalence principle by one order of magnitude.
