This paper reports the tenth-order QED contribution to the lepton g-2 from the gauge-invariant set, called Set III(c), which consists of 390 Feynman vertex diagrams containing an internal fourth-order light-by-light-scattering subdiagram. The mass-independent contribution of Set III(c) to the electron g-2 (a_e) is 4.9210(103) in units of (alpha/pi)^5. The mass-dependent contributions to a_e from diagrams containing a muon loop is 0.00370(37) (alpha/pi)^5. The tau-lepton loop contribution is negligible at present. Altogether the contribution of Set III(c) to a_e is 4.9247 (104) (alpha/pi)^5. We have also evaluated the contribution of the closed electron loop to the muon g-2 (a_mu). The result is 7.435(134) (alpha/pi)^5. The contribution of the tau-lepton loop to a_mu is 0.1999(28)(alpha/pi)^5. The total contribution of variousleptonic loops (electron, muon, and tau-lepton) of Set III(c) to a_mu is 12.556 (135) (alpha/pi)^5.
This paper reports the tenth-order contributions to the g-2 of the electron a_e and those of the muon a_mu from the gauge-invariant Set II(c), which consists of 36 Feynman diagrams, and Set II(d), which consists of 180 Feynman diagrams. Both sets are obtained by insertion of sixth-order vacuum-polarization diagrams in the fourth-order anomalous magnetic moment. The mass-independent contributions from Set II(c) and Set II(d) are -0.116 489 (32)(alpha/pi)^5 and -0.243 00 (29)(alpha/pi)^5, respectively. The leading contributions to a_mu, which involve electron loops only, are -3.888 27 (90)(alpha/pi)^5 and 0.4972 (65)(alpha/pi)^5 for Set II(c) and Set II(d), respectively. The total contributions of the electron, muon, and tau-lepton loops to a_e are -0.116 874 (32) (alpha/pi)^5 for Set II(c) and -0.243 10 (29) (alpha/pi)^5 for Set II(d). The contributions of electron, muon, and tau-lepton loops to a_mu are -5.5594 (11) (alpha/pi)^5 for Set II(c) and 0.2465 (65) (alpha/pi)^5 for Set II(d).
This paper reports the result of our evaluation of the tenth-order QED correction to the lepton g-2 from Feynman diagrams which have sixth-order light-by-light-scattering subdiagrams, none of whose vertices couple to the external magnetic field. The gauge-invariant set of these diagrams, called Set II(e), consists of 180 vertex diagrams. In the case of the electron g-2 (a_e), where the light-by-light subdiagram consists of the electron loop, the contribution to a_e is found to be - 1.344 9 (10) (alpha /pi)^5. The contribution of the muon loop to a_e is - 0.000 465 (4) (alpha /pi)^5. The contribution of the tau-lepton loop is about two orders of magnitudes smaller than that of the muon loop and hence negligible. The sum of all of these contributions to a_e is - 1.345 (1) (alpha /pi)^5. We have also evaluated the contribution of Set II(e) to the muon g-2 (a_mu). The contribution to a_mu from the electron loop is 3.265 (12) (alpha /pi)^5, while the contribution of the tau-lepton loop is -0.038 06 (13) (alpha /pi)^5. The total contribution to a_mu, which is the sum of these two contributions and the mass-independent part of a_e, is 1.882 (13) (alpha /pi)^5.
This paper reports the tenth-order QED contribution to lepton g-2 from diagrams of three gauge-invariant sets VI(d), VI(g), and VI(h), which are obtained by including various fourth-order radiative corrections to the sixth-order g-2 containing light-by-light-scattering subdiagrams. In the case of electron g-2, they consist of 492, 480, and 630 vertex Feynman diagrams, respectively. The results of numerical integration, including mass-dependent terms containing muon loops, are 1.8418(95) (alpha/pi)^5 for the Set VI(d), -1.5918(65) (alpha/pi)^5 for the Set VI(g), and 0.1797(40) (alpha/pi)^5 for the Set VI(h), respectively. We also report the contributions to the muon g-2, which derive from diagrams containing an electron, muon or tau lepton loop: Their sums are -5.876(802) (alpha/pi)^5 for the Set VI(d), 5.710(490) (alpha/pi)^5 for the Set VI(g), and -8.361(232) (alpha/pi)^5 for the Set VI(h), respectively.
This paper presents a detailed account of evaluation of the electron anomalous magnetic moment a_e which arises from the gauge-invariant set, called Set V, consisting of 6354 tenth-order Feynman diagrams without closed lepton loops. The latest value of the sum of Set V diagrams evaluated by the Monte-Carlo integration routine VEGAS is 8.726(336)(alpha/pi)^5, which replaces the very preliminary value reported in 2012. Combining it with other 6318 tenth-order diagrams published previously we obtain 7.795(336)(alpha/pi)^5 as the complete mass-independent tenth-order term. Together with the improved value of the eighth-order term this leads to a_e(theory)=1 159 652 181.643(25)(23)(16)(763) times 10^{-12}, where first three uncertainties are from the eighth-order term, tenth-order term, and hadronic and elecroweak terms. The fourth and largest uncertainty is from alpha^{-1}=137.035 999 049(90), the fine-structure constant derived from the rubidium recoil measurement. Thus, a_e(experiment) - a_e(theory)= -0.91(0.82) times 10^{-12}. Assuming the validity of the standard model, we obtain the fine-structure constant alpha^{-1}(a_e)=137.035 999 1570(29)(27)(18)(331), where uncertainties are from the eighth-order term, tenth-order term, hadronic and electroweak terms, and the measurement of a_e. This is the most precise value of alpha available at present and provides a stringent constraint on possible theories beyond the standard model.
In order to improve the theoretical prediction of the electron anomalous magnetic moment $a_e$ we have carried out a new numerical evaluation of the 389 integrals of Set V, which represent 6,354 Feynman vertex diagrams without lepton loops. During this work, we found that one of the integrals, called $X024$, was given a wrong value in the previous calculation due to an incorrect assignment of integration variables. The correction of this error causes a shift of $-1.25$ to the Set~V contribution, and hence to the tenth-order universal (i.e., mass-independent) term $ A_1^{(10)}$. The previous evaluation of all other 388 integrals is free from errors and consistent with the new evaluation. Combining the new and the old (excluding $X024$) calculations statistically, we obtain $7.606~(192) (alpha/pi)^5$ as the best estimate of the Set V contribution. Including the contribution of the diagrams with fermion loops, the improved tenth-order universal term becomes $A_1^{(10)}=6.678~(192)$. Adding hadronic and electroweak contributions leads to the theoretical prediction $a_e (text{theory}) =1~159~652~182.032~(720)times 10^{-12}$. From this and the best measurement of $a_e$, we obtain the inverse fine-structure constant $alpha^{-1}(a_e) = 137.035~999~1491~(331)$. The theoretical prediction of the muon anomalous magnetic moment is also affected by the update of QED contribution and the new value of $alpha$, but the shift is much smaller than the theoretical uncertainty.
