Abstract
We calculate in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory the local potentials generated by the two-pion exchange diagrams at two-loop order. We give explicit expressions for the mass spectra (or imaginary parts) of the corresponding isoscalar and isovector central, spin-spin and tensor amplitudes. We find from two-loop two-pion exchange, a sizable isoscalar central repulsion that amounts to 62.3 MeV at There is a similarly strong isovector central attraction that, however, originates mainly from the third-order low-energy constants entering the chiral -scattering amplitude. We also evaluate the one-loop -exchange diagram with two second-order chiral vertices proportional to the low-energy constants as well as the first relativistic correction to the -exchange diagrams with one such vertex. The diagrammatic results presented here are relevant components of the chiral potential at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order.
