| contents | We derive the long-range components of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) two-pion-exchange potential with an intermediate Roper resonance. Leading-order interactions in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory are considered. NN phase shifts with orbital angular momentum $L\geq 2$ are calculated in first-order perturbation theory and compared to those obtained without the Roper resonance. We show that the Roper contribution is sizeable for $D$ waves and improves the description of phase shifts for all the partial waves slightly. We also discuss the role of the Roper resonance in the NN interaction in the framework of resonance saturation. |
