Abstract

We calculate in chiral perturbation theory the dominant next-to-leading order correction to the πγ\pi\gamma-exchange NN-potential proportional to the large isovector magnetic moment κv=4.7\kappa_v = 4.7 of the nucleon. The corresponding spin-spin and tensor potentials V~S,T(r)\widetilde V_{S,T}(r) in coordinate space have a very simple analytical form. At long distances r2r \simeq 2 fm these potentials are of similar size (but opposite in sign) as the leading order πγ\pi\gamma-exchange potentials. We consider also effects from virtual Δ\Delta-isobar excitation as well as other isospin-breaking contributions to the 2π2\pi-exchange NN-potential induced by additional one-photon exchange.
