We report on our computation of the leading hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using two dynamical flavours of non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. The strange quark is introduced in the quenched approximation. Partially twisted boundary conditions are applied to improve the momentum resolution in the relevant integral. Our results, obtained at three different values of the lattice spacing, allow for a preliminary study of discretization effects. We explore a wide range of lattice volumes, namely 2 fm < L < 3 fm, with pion masses from 600 to 280 MeV and discuss different chiral extrapolations to the physical point. We observe a non-trivial dependence of a_mu(HLO) on m_pi especially for small pion masses. The final result, a_mu(HLO)=618(64)*10^(-10), is obtained by considering only the quark connected contribution to the vacuum polarization. We present a detailed analysis of systematic errors and discuss how they can be reduced in future simulations.

We report on our ongoing project to calculate the leading hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon a_mu^HLO using two dynamical flavours of non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. In this study, we changed the vacu um polarisation tensor to a combination of local and point-split currents which significantly reduces the numerical effort. Partially twisted boundary conditions allow us to improve the momentum resolution of the vacuum polarisation tensor and therefore the determination of the leading hadronic contribution to (g-2)_mu. We also extended the range of ensembles to include a pion mass below 200 MeV which allows us to check the non-trivial chiral behaviour of a_mu^HLO.
The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magentic moment, $a_mu^{rm LO,HVP}$, can be expressed as an integral over Euclidean $Q^2$ of the vacuum polarization function. We point out that a simple trapezoid-rule numerical integrati on of the current lattice data is good enough to produce a result with a less-than-$1%$ error for the contribution from the interval above $Q^2gtrsim 0.1-0.2 mathrm{GeV}^2$. This leaves the interval below this value of $Q^2$ as the one to focus on in the future. In order to achieve an accurate result also in this lower window $Q^2lesssim 0.1-0.2 mathrm{GeV}^2$, we indicate the usefulness of three possible tools. These are: Pad{e} Approximants, polynomials in a conformal variable and a NNLO Chiral Perturbation Theory representation supplemented by a $Q^4$ term. The combination of the numerical integration in the upper $Q^2$ interval together with the use of these tools in the lower $Q^2$ interval provides a hybrid strategy which looks promising as a means of reaching the desired goal on the lattice of a sub-percent precision in the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
We present results of calculations of the hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Specifically, we focus on controlling the infrared regime of the vacuum polarisation function. Our results are corrected for fi nite-size effects by combining the Gounaris-Sakurai parameterisation of the timelike pion form factor with the Luscher formalism. The impact of quark-disconnected diagrams and the precision of the scale determination is discussed and included in our final result in two-flavour QCD, which carries an overall uncertainty of 6%. We present preliminary results computed on ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ dynamical flavours and discuss how the long-distance contribution can be accurately constrained by a dedicated spectrum calculation in the iso-vector channel.
We calculate the leading-order hadronic correction to the anomalous magnetic moments of each of the three charged leptons in the Standard Model: the electron, muon and tau. Working in two-flavor lattice QCD, we address essentially all sources of syst ematic error: lattice artifacts, finite-size effects, quark-mass extrapolation, momentum extrapolation and disconnected diagrams. The most significant remaining systematic error, the exclusion of the strange and charm quark contributions, will be addressed in our four-flavor calculation. We achieve a statistical accuracy of 2% or better for the physical values for each of the three leptons and the systematic errors are at most comparable.
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 ph ysics. 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.
