Abstract

We discuss the possibility of evaluating the p-n mass difference unambiguously, taking in account a possible violation of Bjorken scaling law in the deep inelastic e-p, e-n scattering. We find that even a very small amount of violation is sufficient in order to obtain the correct value for the p-n mass difference.
