Description

We reproduce the two-body gravitational conservative dynamics at third post-Newtonian order for spinless sources by using the effective field theory methods for the gravitationally bound two-body system, proposed by Goldberger and Rothstein. This result has been obtained by automatizing the computation of Feynman amplitudes within a MATHEMATICA algorithm, paving the way for higher-order computations not yet performed by traditional methods.
