The recent measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment a_muequiv (g-2)_mu/2 by the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment sharpens an earlier discrepancy between theory and the BNL E821 experiment. We examine the predicted Delta a_muequiv a_mu(exp)-a_mu(th) in the context of supersymmetry with low electroweak naturalness (restricting to models which give a plausible explanation for the magnitude of the weak scale). A global analysis including LHC Higgs mass and sparticle search limits points to interpretation within the normal scalar mass hierarchy (NSMH) SUSY model wherein first/second generation matter scalars are much lighter than third generation scalars. We present a benchmark model for a viable NSMH point which is natural, obeys LHC Higgs and sparticle mass constraints and explains the muon magnetic anomaly. Aside from NSMH models, then we find the (g-2)_mu anomaly cannot be explained within the context of natural SUSY, where a variety of data point to decoupled first/second generation scalars. The situation is worse within the string landscape where first/second generation matter scalars are pulled to values in the 10-50 TeV range. An alternative interpretation for SUSY models with decoupled scalar masses is that perhaps the recent lattice evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarization could be confirmed which leads to a Standard Model theory-experiment agreement in which case there is no anomaly.

A very economic scenario with just three extra scalar fields beyond the Standard Model is invoked to explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment, the requisite relic abundance of dark matter as well as the Xenon-1T excess through the inelastic down-scattering of the dark scalar.
A new QCD sum rule determination of the leading order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_{mu}^{rm hvp}$, is proposed. This approach combines data on $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation into hadrons, pertu rbative QCD and lattice QCD results for the first derivative of the electromagnetic current correlator at zero momentum transfer, $Pi_{rm EM}^prime(0)$. The idea is based on the observation that, in the relevant kinematic domain, the integration kernel $K(s)$, entering the formula relating $a_{mu}^{rm hvp}$ to $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data, behaves like $1/s$ times a very smooth function of $s$, the squared energy. We find an expression for $a_{mu}$ in terms of $Pi_{rm EM}^prime(0)$, which can be calculated in lattice QCD. Using recent lattice results we find a good approximation for $a_{mu}^{rm hvp}$, but the precision is not yet sufficient to resolve the discrepancy between the $R(s)$ data-based results and the experimentally measured value.
The Fermi-Lab Collaboration has announced the results for the measurement of muon anomalous magnetic moment. Combining with the previous results by the BNL experiment, we have $4.2 sigma$ deviation from the Standard Model (SM), which strongly implies the new physics around 1 TeV. To explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment naturally, we analyze the corresponding five Feynman diagrams in the Supersymetric SMs (SSMs), and show that the Electroweak Supersymmetry (EWSUSY) is definitely needed. We realize the EWSUSY in the Minimal SSM (MSSM) with Genernalized Mininal Supergravity (GmSUGRA). We find large viable parameter space, which is consistent with all the current experimental constraints. In particular, the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP) neutralino can be at least as heavy as 550 GeV. Most of the viable parameter space can be probed at the future HL-LHC, while we do need the future HE-LHC to probe some viable parameter space. However, it might still be challenge if R-parity is violated.
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 deviations with th e theoretical prediction of a_mu based on the Standard Model. The uncertainty of the latter is dominated by the effects of the strong interaction, notably the hadronic vacuum polarisation (HVP) and the hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) scattering contributions, which are commonly evaluated using a data-driven approach and hadronic models, respectively. Given that the discrepancy between theory and experiment is currently one of the most intriguing hints for a possible failure of the Standard Model, it is of paramount importance to determine both the HVP and HLbL contributions from first principles. In this review we present the status of lattice QCD calculations of the leading-order HVP and the HLbL scattering contributions, a_mu^hvp and a_mu^hlbl. After describing the formalism to express a_mu^hvp and a_mu^hlbl in terms of Euclidean correlation functions that can be computed on the lattice, we focus on the systematic effects that must be controlled to achieve a first-principles determination of the dominant strong interaction contributions to a_mu with the desired level of precision. We also present an overview of current lattice QCD results for a_mu^hvp and a_mu^hlbl, as well as related quantities such as the transition form factor for pi0 -> gamma*gamma*. While the total error of current lattice QCD estimates of a_mu^hvp has reached the few-percent level, it must be further reduced by a factor 5 to be competitive with the data-driven dispersive approach. At the same time, there has been good progress towards the determination of a_mu^hlbl with an uncertainty at the 10-15%-level.
We review the present status of the Standard Model calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. This is performed in a perturbative expansion in the fine-structure constant $alpha$ and is broken down into pure QED, electroweak, and hadro nic contributions. The pure QED contribution is by far the largest and has been evaluated up to and including $mathcal{O}(alpha^5)$ with negligible numerical uncertainty. The electroweak contribution is suppressed by $(m_mu/M_W)^2$ and only shows up at the level of the seventh significant digit. It has been evaluated up to two loops and is known to better than one percent. Hadronic contributions are the most difficult to calculate and are responsible for almost all of the theoretical uncertainty. The leading hadronic contribution appears at $mathcal{O}(alpha^2)$ and is due to hadronic vacuum polarization, whereas at $mathcal{O}(alpha^3)$ the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution appears. Given the low characteristic scale of this observable, these contributions have to be calculated with nonperturbative methods, in particular, dispersion relations and the lattice approach to QCD. The largest part of this review is dedicated to a detailed account of recent efforts to improve the calculation of these two contributions with either a data-driven, dispersive approach, or a first-principle, lattice-QCD approach. The final result reads $a_mu^text{SM}=116,591,810(43)times 10^{-11}$ and is smaller than the Brookhaven measurement by 3.7$sigma$. The experimental uncertainty will soon be reduced by up to a factor four by the new experiment currently running at Fermilab, and also by the future J-PARC experiment. This and the prospects to further reduce the theoretical uncertainty in the near future-which are also discussed here-make this quantity one of the most promising places to look for evidence of new physics.
