${{\mathit n}}$ MASS (MeV)

INSPIRE   PDGID:

S017M

The mass is known more precisely in u (atomic mass units) than in MeV. The conversion is: 1 u = 931.494 102 42(28) MeV/c${}^{2}$ (2018 CODATA value, TIESINGA 2021).

We use the 1986 CODATA conversion factor to get the mass in MeV. 3  These determinations are not independent of the ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit n}}}–{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit p}}}$ measurements below. 4  The mass is known much more precisely in u: $\mathit m$ = $1.008664919$ $\pm0.000000014$ u.
