Leading hadronic contribution to the muon $(g-2)$ and other electroweak observables from $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass lattice QCD

Grit Hotzel (HU Berlin)

The muon anomalous magnetic moment constitutes a prime candidate to possibly detect new physics beyond the standard model, since a 3 to 4 standard deviations discrepancy has been observed between its experimental and theoretical values. The dominant uncertainty originates from its hadronic contributions. Here, we show our results for the four-flavour leading-order hadronic contributions to $(g-2)$ of all three leptons. Performing the continuum limit and an analysis of systematic effects, full agreement with phenomenological results is found. Furthermore, the results for the leading hadronic contribution to the running of the finestructure constant in the low-momentum region are shown, again matching the phenomenological curve obtained from e⁺ e⁻ scattering data.
