Abstract
We calculate the contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment hadronic vacuum polarization from the connected diagrams of up and down quarks, omitting electromagnetism. We employ QCD gauge-field configurations with dynamical u , d , s , and c quarks and the physical pion mass, and analyze five ensembles with lattice spacings ranging from a ≈ 0.06 to 0.15 fm. The up- and down-quark masses in our simulations have equal masses m l . We obtain, in this world where all pions have the mass of the π 0 , 1 0 10 a l l μ ( conn . ) = 637.8 ( 8.8 ) , in agreement with independent lattice-QCD calculations. We then combine this value with published lattice-QCD results for the connected contributions from strange, charm, and bottom quarks, and an estimate of the uncertainty due to the fact that our calculation does not include strong-isospin breaking, electromagnetism, or contributions from quark-disconnected diagrams. Our final result for the total O ( α 2 ) hadronic-vacuum polarization to the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment is 1 0 10 a HVP , LO μ = 699 ( 15 ) u , d ( 1 ) s , c , b , where the errors are from the light-quark and heavy-quark contributions, respectively. Our result agrees with both ab-initio lattice-QCD calculations and phenomenological determinations from experimental e + e − -scattering data. It is 1.3 σ below the “no new physics” value of the hadronic-vacuum-polarization contribution inferred from combining the BNL E821 measurement of a μ with theoretical calculations of the other contributions.
