We present complete results for the hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_\mu$ in the short- and intermediate-distance window regions, which account for roughly 10% and 35% of the total HVP…

We use Pade Approximants to obtain improved predictions for the anomalous magnetic moments of the electron and the muon. These are needed because of the very precise experimental values presently obtained for the electron, and soon to be…

Hadronic vacuum polarization is a key observable in low-energy QCD, and is famously the greatest contributor to the theoretical uncertainty in the muon magnetic moment. Its long-distance part in particular is a weak point of the current…

We compute the isospin-violating part $a_\mu^{\text{HVP}, 38}$ of the hadronic-vacuum-polarization (HVP) contribution to the muon $(g-2)$ in lattice QCD at the SU$(3)_{\rm f}$-symmetric point where $M_\pi=M_K\simeq 416$ MeV. All diagrams…

Radiative corrections to electronic structure are characterized by perturbative expansions in $\alpha$ and $Z\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is the fine-structure constant and $Z$ is the nuclear charge. A formulation of the leading-order…
