Revisiting the Muon Anomaly from $e^+ e^-\to$ Hadrons
Abstract
In this talk, I revisit and present a more comprehensive estimate of the lowest order Hadronic Vacuum Polarization (HVP) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon anomaly) from Hadrons obtained recently in Ref.[1]. New CMD-3 data on [2] and precise BABAR [3] and recent BELLE2 [4] data are usedto update the estimate of the isoscalar channel below the -meson mass. Adding the data compiled by PDG22 [5] above 1 GeV and the QCD improved continuum used in Ref. [1], one deduces: .A comparison with previous data driven ( and -decays) estimates is done.Including the Higher Order corrections, the phenomenological estimate of the Hadronic Light by Light scattering up to NLO and the QED and Electroweak (EW) contributions, one obtains: where the recent experimental value [6] has been used. This result consolidates the previous one in Ref.[1], after adding the contributions, and can be compared with the one from the most precise Lattice result . Then, we deduce the (tentative) SM prediction average : . We complete the paper by revising our predictions on the LO HVP contributions in adding the contributions to the ones in Ref.[1]. Then, we obtain: and for 5 flavours.
