We present our lattice QCD result for the long-distance part of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution, $(a_\mu^{\rm hvp})^{\rm LD}$, to the muon $g-2$ in the time-momentum representation. This is the numerically dominant, and at the…

In the recent Muon g-2 Theory Initiative white paper update, the hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution -- which dominates the theoretical uncertainty -- is evaluated as an average of different lattice QCD calculations. Since…
