QCD and Hadronic Interactions with Initial-State-Radiation at B-Factories

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

The efforts to improve on the precision of the measurement and theoretical prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon a_mu have turned into a test of our understanding of the hadronic contribution to vacuum polarisation. I describe how recent measurements of hadron production in e+e- interactions with initial-state radiation provide precision measurements of the hadron cross section, and have improved on the contribution to the prediction of the value of a_mu that dominates the global uncertainty.
