Pseudoscalar pole terms in the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to muon $ g - 2 $

Abstract

The pseudoscalar pole contribution is the dominant source of the O(α3) {\cal O}(\alpha^3) hadronic light-by-light scattering effect in muon g2g - 2. We have examined this contribution taking account of the off-shell structure of the pseudoscalar-photon-photon anomaly vertex deduced from available experimental data. Our work leads to an improved estimate, 79.2(15.4)×1011 -79.2 (15.4) \times 10^{-11}, for the total hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the muon g2g - 2.
