We extend our analysis of the leading hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using the mixed representation method to study its chiral behavior. We present results derived from local-conserved two-point lattice vector correlation functions, computed on a subset of light two-flavor ensembles made available to us through the CLS effort with pion masses as low as 190 MeV. The data is analyzed also using the more standard four-momentum method. Both methods are systematically compared as the calculations approach the physical point.

The persistent discrepancy of about 3.5 standard deviations between the experimental measurement and the Standard Model prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_mu$, is one of the most promising hints for the possible existence of new physics. Here we report on our lattice QCD calculation of the hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution $a_mu^{rm hvp}$, based on gauge ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavours of O($a$) improved Wilson quarks. We address the conceptual and numerical challenges that one encounters along the way to a sub-percent determination of the hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution. The current status of lattice calculations of $a_mu^{rm hvp}$ is presented by performing a detailed comparison with the results from other groups.
The leading order hadronic contribution to the muon magnetic moment anomaly, $a^{HAD}_mu$, is determined entirely in the framework of QCD. The result in the light-quark sector, in units of $10^{-10}$, is $a^{HAD}_mu|_{uds} =686 pm 26$, and in the heavy-quark sector $a^{HAD}_mu|_{c} =14.4 pm 0.1$, and $a^{HAD}_mu|_{b} =0.29 pm 0.01$, resulting in $a^{HAD}_mu = 701 pm 26$. The main uncertainty is due to the current lattice QCD value of the first and second derivative of the electromagnetic current correlator at the origin. Expected improvement in the precision of these derivatives may render this approach the most accurate and trustworthy determination of the leading order $a^{HAD}_mu$.
We propose a new experiment to measure the running of the fine-structure constant in the space-like region by scattering high-energy muons on atomic electrons of a low-Z target through the process $mu e to mu e$. The differential cross section of this process, measured as a function of the squared momentum transfer $t=q^2<0$, provides direct sensitivity to the leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon anomaly $a^{rm{HLO}}_{mu}$. By using a muon beam of 150 GeV, with an average rate of $sim1.3times 10^7$ muon/s, currently available at the CERN North Area, a statistical uncertainty of $sim 0.3%$ can be achieved on $a^{rm{HLO}}_{mu}$ after two years of data taking. This direct measurement of $a^{rm{HLO}}_{mu}$ will provide an independent determination, competitive with the time-like dispersive approach, and consolidate the theoretical prediction for the muon $g$-2 in the Standard Model. It will allow therefore a firmer interpretation of the measurements of the future muon $g$-2 experiments at Fermilab and J-PARC.
We present results for the leading hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment due to strange quark-connected vacuum polarisation effects. Simulations were performed using RBC--UKQCDs $N_f=2+1$ domain wall fermion ensembles with physical light sea quark masses at two lattice spacings. We consider a large number of analysis scenarios in order to obtain solid estimates for residual systematic effects. Our final result in the continuum limit is $a_mu^{(2),{rm had},,s}=53.1(9)left(^{+1}_{-3}right)times10^{-10}$.
We present a calculation of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_mu^{mathrm hvp}$, in lattice QCD employing dynamical up and down quarks. We focus on controlling the infrared regime of the vacuum polarization function. To this end we employ several complementary approaches, including Pade fits, time moments and the time-momentum representation. We correct our results for finite-volume effects by combining the Gounaris-Sakurai parameterization of the timelike pion form factor with the Luscher formalism. On a subset of our ensembles we have derived an upper bound on the magnitude of quark-disconnected diagrams and found that they decrease the estimate for $a_mu^{mathrm hvp}$ by at most 2%. Our final result is $a_mu^{mathrm hvp}=(654pm32,{}^{+21}_{-23})cdot 10^{-10}$, where the first error is statistical, and the second denotes the combined systematic uncertainty. Based on our findings we discuss the prospects for determining $a_mu^{mathrm hvp}$ with sub-percent precision.
