Abstract

We present a lattice calculation of the Euclidean position-space windows contributing to the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarization term of the muon anomalous magnetic moment aμa_\mu. Short-, intermediate- and long-distance windows are considered in order to isolate different scales sensitive to specific integration ranges of experimental time-like data used in the R-ratio. By adopting the same smooth window function introduced by the RBC and UKQCD Collaborations with width parameter Δ=0.15 fm\Delta = 0.15~\rm fm, for the isospin-symmetric, light, quark-connected component we get aμSD(ud)=48.21(80)1010a_\mu^{\rm SD} (ud) = 48.21\,(80) \cdot 10^{-10} , aμW(ud)=202.2(2.6)1010a_\mu^{\rm W} (ud) = 202.2\,(2.6) \cdot 10^{-10} and aμLD(ud)=382.5(11.7)1010a_\mu^{\rm LD} (ud) = 382.5\,(11.7) \cdot 10^{-10} in the short- (SD), intermediate- (W) and long-distance (LD) time regions, respectively, with t0=0.4 fmt_0 = 0.4~\rm fm and t1=1.0 fmt_1 = 1.0~\rm fm. Our results are obtained using the gauge configurations generated by the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration with Nf=2+1+1N_f=2+1+1 dynamical quarks, at three values of the lattice spacing varying from 0.089 to 0.062 fm, at several lattice volumes and with pion masses in the range Mπ220490 MeVM_\pi \simeq 220 - 490~\rm MeV.
