Abstract
Nonstatic corrections to the two-nucleon potential of Brueckner and Watson and of Gartenhaus are computed within the framework of the γ5 theory. These terms appear as spin-orbit corrections of order μ/M to the static potentials. The S matrix is calculated in second and fourth order for a reduced form of the relativistic theory. The potential is then chosen so as to duplicate this S matrix to the required order in the coupling constant and μ/M. We consider to what extent our reduction of the γ5 theory changes its character. The resulting potentials are given in analytic form for no cutoff in momentum space and in numerical form for the Gaussian cutoff employed by Gartenhaus. We give also some additional static corrections to previous potentials. A qualitative comparison is made with the experimental observations in nucleon-nucleon scattering, the fine structure in the splitting of the He5 nucleus, and the contribution of the nonstatic potential to the magnetic moment of the deuteron.
