The muon magnetic anomaly may contain contributions from physics beyond the standard model. At the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) a precision experiment aims for a measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly $a_{\mu}$ to 0.35 ppm, where…
The light scalar meson spectrum is studied using the improved ladder QCD with the UA(1) breaking Kobayashi-Maskawa-'t Hooft interaction by solving the Schwinger-Dyson and Bethe-Salpeter equations. The dynamically generated…
We apply QCD Finite Energy Sum Rules to the scalar-isoscalar current to determine the lightest $u \bar{u} + d \bar{d}$ meson in this channel. We use `pinch-weights' to improve the reliability of the QCD predictions and reduce the…
We summarize recent developments in the Standard-Model evaluation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $a_\mu$, both in the hadronic-light-by-light and hadronic-vacuum-polarization contributions. The current situation for the latter…
The recent precise measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly (g-2)_{mu} at BNL opens a window into possible new physics, provided the contribution from hadronic vacuum polarization is well understood. This talk summarizes the development in…
We reevaluate the hadronic contributions to the muon magnetic anomaly, and to the running of the electromagnetic coupling constant at the Z-boson mass. We include new pi+pi- cross-section data from KLOE, all available multi-hadron data from…
A review of the experimental and theoretical determinations of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is given. The anomaly is defined by a=(g-2)/2, where the Land\'e g-factor is the proportionality constant that relates the spin to the…
A new scalar particle with generic couplings to the standard-model particles is a possible source for the lepton anomalous magnetic moment and the violation of the weak equivalence principle. Here, one-loop contributions to the lepton…
We update our Standard Model predictions for g-2 of the muon and for the hadronic contributions to the running of the QED coupling, Delta alpha_had^(5)(M_Z^2). Particular emphasis is put on recent changes in the hadronic contributions from…
The muon g-2 collaboration has measured the anomalous magnetic g value of the positive muon to within a relative uncertainty of 0.7 parts per million. The result, a_{\mu^+} = 11 659 204(7)(5) x 10^{-10} is in good agreement with the…
In a previous paper arXiv:0708.3256 [hep-ph] we have calculated the radiative corrections to $\rho \to \pi\pi$ decays, aiming to estimate the width difference between charged and neutral rho mesons. There, we have used the scalar QED…
We explain the 2.3 sigma deviation in the recent measurements of the neutral B mesons decay into muon pairs from the standard model prediction in the framework of supersymmetric grand unified models using anti-symmetric coupling as a new…
Existing predictions for the branching ratio for $\phi\rightarrow K\bar{K}\gamma$ {\it via} $\phi\rightarrow S\gamma$ (where $S$ denotes one of the scalar mesons $f_0$(975) and $a_0$(980)) vary by several orders of magnitude. Given the…
The current experimental values of anomalous magnetic moments of muon and electron deviate from the Standard Model predictions by few standard deviations, which might be a hint of new physics. The sizes and signs of these deviations are…
I review the status of lattice QCD calculations of the hadronic contributions to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment, focussing on the hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution which dominates the uncertainty of the Standard Model…
I review recent evaluations of the hadronic contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2)_mu and to the effective fine structure constant alpha (M_Z). A new estimate for the hadronic shift delta_alpha hadronic = 0.027782 +/-…
The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, a_mu, has been measured with an overall precision of 540 ppb by the E821 experiment at BNL. Since the publication of this result in 2004 there has been a persistent tension of 3.5 standard…
The FAC, PMS, and BLM optimization methods are applied to the QED corrections to the muon lifetime in the Fermi V-A theory. The FAC and PMS scales are close to m_e, while the BLM scale nearly concides with the geometric average \sqrt{m_e…
The hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon which are relevant for the confrontation between theory and experiment at the present level of accuracy, are evaluated within the same framework: the constituent chiral…
In this write-up, I summarize the analyses on the low-lying scalar mesons I have done recently with my collaborators. I first briefly review the previous analyses on the hadronic processes related to the scalar mesons, which shows that the…
