✦ Synopsis

We have established a new convergent scheme to treat analytically nucleon-nucleon interactions from a chiral effective field theory. The Kaplan-Savage-Wise (KSW) amplitudes are resummed to fulfill the unitarity or right-hand cut to all orders below pion production threshold. This is achieved by matching order by order in the KSW power counting the general expression of a partial wave with resummed unitarity cut, with the inverses of the KSW amplitudes. As a result, a new convergent and systematic KSW expansion is derived for an on-shell interacting kernel R in terms of which the partial waves are computed. The agreement with data for the S-waves is fairly good up to laboratory energies around 350 MeV and clearly improves and reestablishes the phenomenological success of the KSW amplitudes when treated within this scheme.

We present a new chiral expansion scheme for the nucleon-nucleon scattering amplitude which preserves unitarity exactly. Our effective field theory builds on the power counting rules for 2-nucleon reducible diagrams. We evaluate the leading order terms of the isospin one scattering amplitude and ela
