$\vert \mathit q_{{{\mathit p}}}~+~\mathit q_{{{\overline{\mathit p}}}}\vert /{{\mathit e}}$

INSPIRE   PDGID:

S016DQ2

A test of $\mathit CPT$ invariance. Note that the comparison of the ${{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ and ${{\mathit p}}$ charge-to-mass ratios given above is much better determined. See also a similar test involving the electron.

Their results are not independent of the HORI 2001 , HORI 2003 , HORI 2006 , and HORI 2011 values for $\vert {\mathit m}_{{{\mathit p}}}−{\mathit m}_{{{\overline{\mathit p}}}}\vert /{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit p}}}$, above. 2  TORII 1999 uses the more-precisely-known constraint on the ${{\overline{\mathit p}}}$ charge-to-mass ratio of GABRIELSE 1995 (see above) to get this result. This is not independent of the TORII 1999 value for $\vert {\mathit m}_{{{\mathit p}}}−{\mathit m}_{{{\overline{\mathit p}}}}\vert /{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit p}}}$, above. 3  HUGHES 1992 uses recent measurements of Rydberg-energy and cyclotron-frequency ratios.
