Ab initio calculation of the neutron-proton mass difference. Borsanyi, S., Durr, S., Fodor, Z., Hoelbling, C., Katz, S. D., Krieg, S., Lellouch, L., Lippert, T., Portelli, A., Szabo, K. K., & Toth, B. C. Science, 347(6229):1452–1455, 2015. ![Ab initio calculation of the neutron-proton mass difference. [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex The existence and stability of atoms rely on the fact that neutrons are more massive than protons. The measured mass difference is only 0.14% of the average of the two masses. A slightly smaller or larger value would have led to a dramatically different universe. Here, we show that this difference results from the competition between electromagnetic and mass isospin breaking effects. We performed lattice quantum-chromodynamics and quantum-electrodynamics computations with four nondegenerate Wilson fermion flavors and computed the neutron-proton mass-splitting with an accuracy of 300 kilo-electron volts, which is greater than 0 by 5 standard deviations. We also determine the splittings in the $Σ$, $Ξ$, D, and $Ξ$cc isospin multiplets, exceeding in some cases the precision of experimental measurements.
