Charge-Symmetry Breaking and the Two-Pion-Exchange Two-Nucleon Interaction
Charge-symmetry breaking in the nucleon-nucleon force is investigated within
an effective field theory, using a classification of isospin-violating
interactions based on power-counting arguments. The relevant
charge-symmetry-breaking interactions corresponding to the first two orders in
the power counting are discussed, including their effects on the 3He-3H
binding-energy difference. The static charge-symmetry-breaking potential linear
in the nucleon-mass difference is constructed using chiral perturbation theory.
Explicit formulae in momentum and configuration spaces are presented. The
present work completes previously obtained results.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figure
