The proton value (alpha + beta)_p =13.69 +/- 0.14 is smaller but consistent with the one usually quoted in literature. However, the value for the neutron (alpha + β)_n =14.40 +/- 0.66 turns out to be three standard deviations away from the previously calculated one.6 pages, LaTex2e, 2 figures, 2 tables. Phys. Rev.
