Abstract

The two-loop electroweak radiative corrections to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment, aμ(gμ2)/2a_\mu\equiv (g_\mu-2)/2, are presented. We obtain an overall 22.6\% reduction in the electroweak contribution 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. Some aspects of the calculations are discussed in detail.
