Isn't gravity so weak (compared to electromagnetism and the nuclear forces) that it can be ignored in particle physics?
Maybe F.'s effect only shows when a large mass is moving at 0.57+ c (?)

If you're really close to lightspeed, the increase in mass can get very significant. But, when you're dealing with neutrons, multiples of that still aren't much. I just don't know. Still waiting for one of the smart guys to help out.
