Abstract

In the present work, we investigate several theoretical models of the pion vector form factor and aim at getting the best fit for the two-pion cross sections to reduce the uncertainties of the calculation of two-pion contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Combined with a polynomial description to the pion vector form factor, we obtain the best fit from the Gounaris-Sakurai (or K\"uhn-Santamaria) model for the experimental data up to 1 GeV. By product, the branching ratio of ωππ\omega \to \pi\pi can be extracted as Br(ωππ)=(1.52±0.06)%\text{Br}(\omega\to\pi\pi)=(1.52\pm 0.06) \%, which is consistent with the one of Particle Data Group. With the best fit of the data, we obtain the muon anomalous magnetic moment from two-pion contribution as aμHVP,  LO(π+π1 GeV)=(497.76±3.15)×1010a_{\mu}^{\mathrm{HVP,\; LO}}(\pi^{+} \pi^{-} \leq 1\ \text{GeV}) = (497.76\pm3.15) \times 10^{-10}. Our results are consistent with the other works.
