${{\overline{\mathit p}}}/{{\mathit p}}$ CHARGE-TO-MASS RATIO, $\vert {\mathit q_{{{\overline{\mathit p}}}}\over {\mathit m}_{{{\overline{\mathit p}}}}}\vert /({\mathit q_{{{\mathit p}}}\over {\mathit m}_{{{\mathit p}}}}$)

A test of $\mathit CPT$ invariance. Listed here are measurements involving the $\mathit inertial$ masses. For a discussion of what may be inferred about the ratio of ${{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ and ${{\mathit p}}$ $\mathit gravitational$ masses, see ERICSON 1990 ; they obtain an upper bound of $10^{-6}-10^{-7}$ for violation of the equivalence principle for ${{\overline{\mathit p}}}$'s.

Both are completely consistent with the 1986 CODATA (COHEN 1987 ) value for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit p}}}/{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit e}^{-}}}$ of $1836.152701$ $\pm0.000037$.
