PT Journal AU Pavon Valderrama, M TI Perturbative renormalizability of chiral two-pion exchange in nucleon-nucleon scattering SO Physical Review C JI Phys. Rev. C PY 2011 BP 024003 EP 11pp VL 83 IS 2 DI 10.1103/PhysRevC.83.024003 LA English AB We study the perturbative renormalizability of chiral two-pion exchange for singlet and triplet channels within effective field theory, provided that the one-pion exchange piece of the interaction has been fully iterated. We determine the number of counterterms/subtractions needed to obtain finite results when the cutoff is removed, resulting in three counterterms for the singlet channel and six for the triplet. The results show that perturbative chiral two-pion exchange reproduce the data up to a center-of-mass momentum of k similar to 200-300 MeV in the singlet channel and k similar to 300-400 MeV in the triplet.
