Hadronic light-by-light contribution to the muon g-2

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We have computed the hadronic light-by-light (LbL) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment aμa_μ in the frame of Chiral Perturbation Theory with the inclusion of the lightest resonance multiplets as dynamical fields (RχχT). It is essential to give a more accurate prediction of this hadronic contribution due to the future projects of J-Parc and FNAL on reducing the uncertainty in this observable. We, therefore, computed the pseudoscalar transition form factor and proposed the measurement of the e+e−→μ+μ−π0e^+e^-\toμ^+μ^-π^0 cross section and dimuon invariant mass spectrum to determine more accurately its parameters. Then, we evaluated the pion exchange contribution to aμa_μ, obtaining (6.66±0.21)⋅10−10(6.66\pm0.21)\cdot10^{-10}. By comparing the pion exchange contribution and the pion-pole approximation to the corresponding transition form factor (ππTFF) we recalled that the latter underestimates the complete ππTFF by (15-20)\%. Then, we obtained the η(′)η^({}'^) TFF, obtaining a total contribution of the lightest pseudoscalar exchanges of (10.47±0.54)⋅10−10(10.47\pm0.54)\cdot10^{-10}, in agreement with previous results and with smaller error.
