We derive short-distance constraints for the hadronic light-by-light contribution (HLbL) to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the kinematic region where the three virtual momenta are all large. We include the external soft photon via an external field leading to a well-defined Operator Product Expansion. We establish that the perturbative quark loop gives the leading contribution in a well defined expansion. We compute the first nonzero power correction. It is related to to the magnetic susceptibility of the QCD vacuum. The results can be used as model-independent short-distance constraints for the very many different approaches to the HLbL contribution. Numerically the power correction is found to be small.

The hadronic light-by-light contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment depends on an integration over three off-shell momenta squared ($Q_i^2$) of the correlator of four electromagnetic currents and the fourth leg at zero momentum. We derive the short-distance expansion of this correlator in the limit where all three $Q_i^2$ are large and in the Euclidean domain in QCD. This is done via a systematic operator product expansion (OPE) in a background field which we construct. The leading order term in the expansion is the massless quark loop. We also compute the non-perturbative part of the next-to-leading contribution, which is suppressed by quark masses, and the chiral limit part of the next-to-next-to leading contributions to the OPE. We build a renormalisation program for the OPE. The numerical role of the higher-order contributions is estimated and found to be small.
The current $3.7sigma$ discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction and the experimental value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment could be a hint for the existence of new physics. The hadronic light-by-light contribution is one of the pieces requiring improved precision on the theory side, and an important step is to derive short-distance constraints for this quantity containing four electromagnetic currents. Here, we derive such short-distance constraints for three large photon loop virtualities and the external fourth photon in the static limit. The static photon is considered as a background field and we construct a systematic operator product expansion in the presence of this field. We show that the massless quark loop, i.e. the leading term, is numerically dominant over non-perturbative contributions up to next-to-next-to leading order, both those suppressed by quark masses and those that are not.
The recent experimental measurement of the muon $g-2$ at Fermilab National Laboratory, at a $4.2sigma$ tension with the Standard Model prediction, highlights the need for further improvements on the theoretical uncertainties associated to the hadroni c sector. In the framework of the operator product expansion in the presence of a background field, the short-distance behaviour of the hadronic light-by-light contribution was recently studied. The leading term in this expansion is given by the massless quark-loop, which is numerically dominant compared to non-perturbative corrections. Here, we present the perturbative QCD correction to the massless quark-loop and estimate its size numerically. In particular, we find that for scales above 1 GeV it is relatively small, in general roughly $-10%$ the size of the massless quark-loop. The knowledge of these short-distance constraints will in the future allow to reduce the systematic uncertainties in the Standard Model prediction of the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the $g-2$.

We report on a precision measurement of the cross section for the reaction $e^+e^-topi^+pi^-$ in the mass range $0.30<M_{pipi}<1.00$ GeV with the initial state radiation (ISR) method, using 817 pb$^{-1}$ of data at $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energies ne ar 3.77 GeV and 586 pb$^{-1}$ of data at $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energies near 4.17 GeV, collected with the CLEO-c detector at the CESR $e^+e^-$ collider at Cornell University. The integrated cross sections in the range $0.30<M_{pipi}<1.00$ GeV for the process $e^+e^-topi^+pi^-$ are determined with a statistical uncertainty of $0.7%$ and a systematic uncertainty of $1.5%$. The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment calculated using these measured $e^+e^-topi^+pi^-$ cross sections in the range $M_{pipi}=0.30$ to 1.00 GeV is calculated to be $(500.4pm3.6 (mathrm{stat})pm 7.5(mathrm{syst}))times10^{-10}$.
We present a four-flavour lattice calculation of the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_mathrm{mu}^{rm hvp}$, arising from quark-connected Feynman graphs. It is based on ensembles featuring $N_f=2+1+1$ dynamical twisted mass fermions generated by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC). Several light quark masses are used in order to yield a controlled extrapolation to the physical pion mass. We employ three lattice spacings to examine lattice artefacts and several different volumes to check for finite-size effects. Incorporating the complete first two generations of quarks allows for a direct comparison with phenomenological determinations of $a_mathrm{mu}^{rm hvp}$. Our final result including an estimate of the systematic uncertainty $$a_{mathrm{mu}}^{rm hvp} = 6.74(21)(18) cdot 10^{-8}$$ shows a good overall agreement with these computations.
