Abstract

The bosonic two-loop electroweak radiative corrections to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment, aμ(gμ2)/2a_\mu\equiv (g_\mu-2)/2, are presented. We find ΔaμEW(2loopbosonic)/aμEW(1loop)απ(3.6ln(MW2mμ2)+0.10)0.11\Delta a_\mu^{\rm EW}({\rm 2\,loop\, bosonic})/ a_\mu^{\rm EW}({\rm 1\,loop})\approx {\alpha\over \pi}\left(-3.6 \ln\left({M_W^2\over m_\mu^2}\right) +0.10 \right)\approx -0.11 for MHiggs250M_{\rm Higgs}\approx 250 GeV. Combining that result with our previous two-loop fermionic calculation, we obtain an overall 22.6\% reduction in aμEWa_\mu^{\rm EW} from 195×1011195\times 10^{-11} to 151(4)×1011151(4)\times 10^{-11}. Implications for the full standard model prediction and an upcoming high precision measurement of aμa_\mu are briefly discussed. We also give the two-loop electroweak corrections to the anomalous magnetic moments of electron and tau lepton; they result in a reduction of the one-loop estimates by 35\% and 15\%, respectively.
