Description
Using effective field theory methods, we calculate the 5PN
potential corrections to the binary black hole system, also
including the tail terms, except the purely rational terms of
O(\nu^2). Comparisons are made with the literature. The
contributions of O(\pi^2 \nu^2) are calculated for the first
time. We provide the Hamiltonian for harmonic coordinates
and calculate the binding energy and periastron advance.
We also present the 6PN potential contributions up to G_N^4.
