Figure 4.5: Predictions for the mix<strong>in</strong>g parameter 1:1 for nucleon cms momenta p<br />

below 350 MeV. <strong>The</strong> short-dashed, long-dashed and solid curves represent our LO,<br />

NLO and NNLO results, <strong>in</strong> order. For comparison, the NLO [91J and NNLO [210J<br />

results <strong>in</strong> the KSW scheme are also shown. <strong>The</strong> filled squares depict the Nijmegen<br />

PSA results.<br />

to NLO is not due to <strong>in</strong>clusion of the lead<strong>in</strong>g TPE but ma<strong>in</strong>ly because the lead<strong>in</strong>g short range<br />

contact term with two derivatives is taken <strong>in</strong>to account.<br />

<strong>The</strong> P-waves have also been recently calculated <strong>in</strong> the KSW scheme, see fig. 9 of ref. [211J. <strong>The</strong><br />

lead<strong>in</strong>g non-vanish<strong>in</strong>g contributions to the phase shifts come out <strong>in</strong> this approach at NL08 from<br />

the (non-iterated) OPE and the first corrections (NNLO) correspond to a s<strong>in</strong>gle iteration of the<br />

OPE. <strong>The</strong> contact <strong>in</strong>teractions with two and more derivatives are expected to contribute at higher<br />

orders. No free parameters appear <strong>in</strong> the calculation of the phase shifts <strong>in</strong> these channels. <strong>The</strong><br />

results shown <strong>in</strong> ref. [211 J should, <strong>in</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>ciple, be compared to our LO calculations. <strong>The</strong> difference<br />

is that we iterate the OPE <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>itely many times (and not just one time as <strong>in</strong> ref. [211 J). Compar<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the NLO and NNLO phase shifts presented <strong>in</strong> [211 J with each other and with the phase shifts<br />

shown <strong>in</strong> fig. 4.6 we conclude, that the one-pion exchange becomes non-perturbative <strong>in</strong> sp<strong>in</strong> triplet<br />

channels at momenta comparable with M7r • As already stressed before, one needs to <strong>in</strong>clude the<br />

lead<strong>in</strong>g short range effects to obta<strong>in</strong> a reasonable description of the phases at <strong>in</strong>termediate energies<br />

<strong>in</strong> the 1 P1 and 3 Po channels. This observation is also confirmed by the analysis of ref. [211],<br />

8 At lead<strong>in</strong>g order these phase shifts are zero.<br />
