In quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the quantity Λ is called the QCD scale. The value is

This value is to be used at a scale above the bottom quark mass of about 5 GeV. The meaning of ΛMS is given in the article on dimensional transmutation.

The proton-to-electron mass ratio is primarily determined by the QCD scale.
