Complete next-to-leading order calculation for pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions at threshold
C. Hanhart, N. Kaiser
Abstract
Based on a counting scheme that explicitly takes into account the large momentum sqrt(M mpi) characteristic for pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions we calculate all diagrams for the reaction NN --> NN pi at threshold up to next-to-leading order. At this order there are no free parameters and the size of the next-to-leading order contributions is in line with the expectation from power counting. The sum of loop corrections at that order vanishes for the process pp --> pp pi0 at threshold. The total contribution at next-to-leading order from loop diagrams that include the delta degree of freedom vanishes at threshold in both reaction channels pp --> pp pi0, pn pi+.
