Charge-Asymmetry of the Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction
  Based upon the Bonn meson-exchange model for the nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) interaction, we study systematically the charge-symmetry-breaking (CSB) of the $NN$ interaction due to nucleon mass splitting. Particular attention is payed to CSB generated by the $2\pi$-exchange contribution to the $NN$ interaction, $\pi\rho$ diagrams, and other multi-meson-exchanges. We calculate the CSB differences in the $^1S_0$ effective range parameters as well as phase shift differences in $S$, $P$ and higher partial waves up to 300 MeV lab. energy. We find a total CSB difference in the singlet scattering length of 1.6 fm which explains the empirical value accurately. The corresponding CSB phase-shift differences are appreciable at low energy in the $^1S_0$ state. In the other partial waves, the CSB splitting of the phase shifts is small and increases with energy, with typical values in the order of 0.1 deg at 300 MeV in $P$ and $D$ waves.
