(F.21)<br />

<strong>The</strong> effective Lagrangian (F.21) is sufficient for the derivation of the short-range part of the twonucleon<br />

potential at NLO. To obta<strong>in</strong> the NNLO potential one needs the Lagrangian .c�� for<br />

contact <strong>in</strong>teractions with four nucleon legs. Let us first discuss the terms with three derivatives<br />

act<strong>in</strong>g on the nucleon field Hv (Hv) .<br />

• Terms with 0/-t, ov, 0p.<br />

It is, c1early, not possible to construct a Lorentz scalar of the form<br />

(F.22)<br />

if the operators f 1 ,2 conta<strong>in</strong> only three derivatives and no velo city or sp<strong>in</strong> operators (or, <strong>in</strong><br />

general, if an odd number of the operators 0/-t' Vv and S(J enters f1 and f2) .<br />

• Terms with 0/-t, ov, op and S(J.<br />

<strong>The</strong> terms without <strong>in</strong>sert ions of the totally anti-symmetrie tensor f et ß7 (J are not parity<br />

<strong>in</strong>variant. For the terms with f et ß7(J we first note that the derivatives must always act onto<br />

different fields Hv (Hv) beeause of the anti-symmetrie properties of the Levy-Civita tensor.<br />

<strong>The</strong> only two terms one ean build up are:<br />

f /-t VP (J { (Hv *a /-t 8 vHv )(Hv *a pS(JHv) + (Hv *a v 8 /-tHv)(Hv 8 pS(JHv)} , (F.23)<br />

if /-t VP (J { (Hv *a /-t 8 vHv)(Hv *a pS(JHv) - (Hv *a v 8 /-tHv)(Hv 8 pS(JHv)} . (F.24)<br />

<strong>The</strong> seeond term vanishes after apply<strong>in</strong>g partial <strong>in</strong>tegration. We will now show that the<br />

first term ean be elim<strong>in</strong>ated from the Lagrangian us<strong>in</strong>g the EOM for the nucleon field and<br />

eqs. (F.2), (F.16) . Let us eonsider only the first term <strong>in</strong> eq. (F.23) to keep our notation<br />
