Abstract

Corrections to the Newtonian gravitational potential from general relativity can be derived in a combined expansion around flat spacetime and a small velocity of the interacting bodies. We present the calculation of the static five-loop corrections in an effective field theory framework using techniques from multi-loop computations in particle physics.
