Quantum loops induce an anomaly, a_mu, in the magnetic moment of the muon that can be accurately measured. Its Standard Model prediction is limited in precision by contributions from hadronic vacuum polarisation of the photon. The dominant…
We present the current Standard Model (SM) prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_\mu$, updating the first White Paper (WP20) [1]. The pure QED and electroweak contributions have been further consolidated, while hadronic…
We review the recent progress made in using holographic QCD to study hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, in particular the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution, where the short-distance…
Hadronic tau decay data is used to study the reliability of various finite energy sum rules (FESR's). For intermediate scales (of order 2-3 GeV^2), those FESR's with weights s^k are found to have significant errors, whereas those with…
Recent advances in molecular simulations allow the evaluation of previously unattainable observables, such as rate constants for protein folding. However, these calculations are usually computationally expensive and even significant…
The muon anomaly $a_\mu=(g_\mu-2)/2$ showing a persisting 3 to 4 $\sigma$ deviation between the SM prediction and the experiment is one of the most promising signals for physics beyond the SM. As is well known, the hadronic uncertainties…
We re-examine the bounds on supersymmetric particle masses in light of the new E821 data on the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the revised theoretical calculations of its hadronic contributions. The current experimental excess is either…

We present a systematic study of the hadronic contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment within several infrared-improved AdS/QCD models. The models are constrained by the pion decay constant and the $\rho$-meson mass and are shown…
A new QCD sum rule determination of the leading order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_{\mu}^{\rm hvp}$, is proposed. This approach combines data on $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation into…
The past five years have brought significant new results on the muon magnetic anomaly, $a_\mu = (g_\mu - 2)/2$, and on the hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution dominating the uncertainty $\Delta a_\mu$. Serious tension has…
We present a new independent evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarization contributions a_l{had}(l.o)=(1/2)(g-2)_l{had}(l.o) to the anomalous magnetic moment (anomaly) of the muon and tau leptons using tau-decays and e+e- data. The alone…
We present the results of a new evaluation of the anomalous magnetic moment a_mu=(g_mu-2)/2 of the muon where the role of input data needed in the evaluation is lowered in the interval between 1.2 and 3.0 GeV below charm threshold. This is…
The leading-order hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is given by a weighted integral over the subtracted hadronic vacuum polarization. This integral is dominated by euclidean momenta of order the muon mass…
We reevaluate the hadronic contribution to the running of the QED fine structure constant \aqed at $s=M_{\rm Z}^2$. We use data from \ee\ annihilation and $\tau$ decays at low energy and at the $q\bar{q}$ thresholds, where resonances occur.…

Muon electron scattering experiments such as the proposed MUonE experiment, offer an opportunity for an improved measurement of the Leading Order hadronic running of $\alpha$, denoted $\Delta \alpha_{\rm{had}}$. Such a measurement could be…
The bootstrap approach (demanding consistency conditions to scattering amplitudes) has shown to be quite powerful to tightly constrain gauge theories at large $N_c$. We extend previous analysis to scattering amplitudes involving pions and…
We evaluate systematically some new contributions of the QCD scalar mesons, including radiative decay-productions, not considered with a better attention until now in the evaluation of the hadronic contributions to the muon anomaly. The sum…
