Abstract

The hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to muon g2g-2 is examined using low energy effective theories of QCD, the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model and hidden local chiral symmetry, as guides. Our result is 36×1011- 36 \times 10^{-11} with an uncertainty of ±16×1011\pm 16 \times 10^{-11}, which includes our best estimate of model dependence. This is within the expected measurement uncertainty of 40×101140\times 10^{-11} in the forthcoming experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Our result removes one of the main theoretical obstacles in verifying the existence of the weak contribution to the muon g2g-2.
