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…

A novel approach towards the hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $a_{\mu}$ is presented, namely the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD. It has the advantage of being valid for all momentum scales and has the…

The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magentic moment, $a_\mu^{\rm LO,HVP}$, can be expressed as an integral over Euclidean $Q^2$ of the vacuum polarization function. We point out that a simple trapezoid-rule…
The hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $(g-2$)/2, is computed in the infinite volume QED framework with lattice QCD. We report $a_\mu^\text{HLbL}=12.47(1.15)(0.95) \times 10^{-10}$ where…
This note presents a combination of published and preliminary electroweak results from the four LEP collaborations and the SLD collaboration which were prepared for the 2001 summer conferences. Averages from Z resonance results are derived…
We measure the hadronic contribution to the vacuum polarisation tensor, and use it to estimate the hadronic contribution to (g-2)_mu, the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
The situation of the experimental data used in the dispersive evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is assessed in view of two recent measurements: $e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-$…
We present results for the leading hadronic contribution to the muon $g-2$ from configurations with 2+1+1 flavors of HISQ quarks. The ensembles have been generated by the MILC collaboration at three lattice spacings. Using the time-momentum…
We employ the comparatively minimal extension of hard-wall AdS/QCD due to Katz and Schwartz which takes into account the U(1)$_A$ anomaly for computing hadronic light-by-light scattering contributions of pseudoscalar and axial vector mesons…
We calculate (g-2) of the muon and the QED coupling alpha(M_Z^2), by improving the determination of the hadronic vacuum polarization contributions and their uncertainties. We include the recently re-analysed CMD-2 data on e^+e^- -> pi^+…

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon displays a $4.2\sigma$ tension with the Standard-Model prediction, if $e^+e^-\to \text{hadrons}$ data are used for hadronic vacuum polarization. In these proceedings we review possible explanations…

We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the hadronic vacuum polarization disconnected contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment at physical pion mass. The calculation uses a refined noise-reduction technique which enabled…
