Abstract

We summarize our results for hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (aμa_\mu), the one from hadronic vacuum-polarisation (HVP) and the light-by-light scattering contribution (LBL), obtained from the Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSE's) of QCD. In the case of HVP we find good agreement with model independent determinations from dispersion relations for aμHVPa_\mu^\mathrm{HVP} as well as for the Adler function with deviations well below the ten percent level. From this we conclude that the DSE approach should be capable of describing aμLBLa_\mu^\mathrm{LBL} with similar accuracy. We also present results for LBL using a resonance expansion of the quark anti-quark T-matrix. Our preliminary value is aμLBL=(217±91)×1011a_\mu^\mathrm{LBL}=(217 \pm 91) \times 10^{-11}.
