Abstract
The effect of isospin breaking pion s-wave rescattering is included in elastic NN scattering at low energies using an interaction obtained from effective field theory. Although this mechanism gave a large contribution to charge symmetry breaking in npdπ0, the effect is rather small in pp vs nn scattering parameters and in the 3H3He binding energy difference. This smallness is caused by large cancellation of the up-down quark mass difference contribution and electromagnetic effects to the np mass difference.
