    Events from the $e^+e^- \to \mu^+\mu^-$ process are cleanly identifiable at the Belle II experiment. To simulate the $e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-$ process, angular distributions from a final state of two spin-1/2 particles can be reweighted to a final state of two pseudoscalar particles using the KK2F Monte Carlo generator. Variations in photon radiation, evaluated using the Collins-Soper and...

    The development of precise event generators for $e^+$ $e^-$ colliders
    and a thorough assessment of the uncertainties associated with the
    Monte Carlo simulations are the essential ingredients for sound estimates
    of the muon anomalous magnetic moment with the data-driven approach.
    A general overview of the RadioMonteCarLow 2 effort is presented with an
    update on recent developments.

    With McMule, fully differential predictions for the radiative process $e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^-\gamma$ including NNLO initial-state corrections are now available.

    Furthermore, we also calculate $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ at NLO by applying form-factor scalar QED wherever it is physically justified. By considering additional contributions, we gain insights into the associated theory...

    To resolve the tension between lattice QCD and data-driven evaluations of the hadronic
    vacuum polarization contribution to the muon anomaly $a_\mu$, precise cross-section measurements
    of the dominant $\pi^+\pi^-$ channel are highly relevant. The radiative return process
    $e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ at flavor factories is essential for extracting this
    cross section below...

    In this talk, we present recent progress in extending PHOKHARA beyond NLO precision. First, we report new results for the pion-pair channel, incorporating the Generalised Vector Dominance Model as an improvement over the usual point-like treatment of pions. We then present the implementation of soft-photon resummation and discuss ongoing work on additional next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO)...

    Significant tensions impede dispersive evaluations of hadronic vacuum polarisation (HVP) contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_\mu$. I will give a progress update discussing improvements to the still blinded KNTW (Keshavarzi-Nomura-Teubner-Wright) HVP analysis procedure, the results from which will form a critical component of future $a_\mu$ evaluations.

    According to the conserved vector current theorem, the tau lepton decays could be utilized to calculate the hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution to the muon anomaly. For example, the decay rate of tau -> 2pi nu is related to the cross section of e+e- -> pi+pi- which gives the dominant contribution to the HVP at low energies. Operating in the tau–charm energy region and having...

    We compare the isospin-one hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) obtained from isospin-symmetric lattice QCD with that obtained from a dispersive representation employing inclusive hadronic $\tau$ decay data corrected for isospin breaking. We consider the subtracted HVP evaluated at momenta ranging from $0.5$ GeV$^2$ to $12$~GeV$^2$, together with the light-quark-connected HVP contribution to the...

    With the publication of our final result on $a_{\mu}$, the collaboration is focussing on three Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) searches. They are searches for a muon EDM, an Ultralight Scalar DM, and violation of CPT and Lorentz Invariance. These analyses are built upon the $a_{\mu}$ data products and are nearing completion. I will review the physics signatures, the systematic errors, and...

    We present a complete calculation of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly reaching the sub-5‰ precision level. Our result, recently published in Nature, constitues an unprecedented validation of the Standard Model, at the given accuracy, in explaining the experimental measurement world average of $a_\mu$, agreeing with the latter at 0.5 standard...

    In this talk we review the status of the lattice calculation of the Hadronic Vacuum Polarization (HVP) contribution to $a_\mu=(g-2)_\mu$ from the ETM collaboration.
    Our result includes the effects of the $u,d,s,c$ quarks in the isospin-symmetric limit of QCD. Our ensembles are generated with $N_f=2+1+1$ dynamical flavors through Wilson-clover twisted mass fermions, and our correlators are...

We discuss ongoing improvements to our dataset and ensemble set aimed at better constraining the chiral–continuum extrapolation, as well as our efforts toward a complete estimate of isospin-breaking effects. In addition, we report on our progress in the determination of...

    I will report on the launch of the lattice QCD project by the PACS Collaboration (PACSc) for muon g-2 precision physics in collaboration with the J-PARC experiments. Using the Fugaku supercomputer, the PACSc has generated PACS10 gauge ensembles by adopting the stout-smeared O(a) improved Wilson-clover quark action and the Iwasaki gauge action at the physical pion/kaon masses on the lattice...

    The lattice scale setting already represents, and will increasingly become in the future, one of the leading sources of uncertainty in first-principles calculations of the HVP contribution to $(g_\mu-2)$.
    In this talk, I will discuss the procedure adopted in the BMW/DMZ collaboration calculation, which currently provides the most precise Standard Model determination of the muon anomalous...

    Isospin-breaking corrections to the hadronic vacuum polarisation
    contribution to the muon g-2 dominate the error of recent lattice
    calculations. It is therefore crucial to reduce the uncertainties
    coming from these contributions to reach the overall target
    precision. I will present preliminary results from a new calculational
    setup that improves the statistical precision for constant...

    Chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT) is the effective field theory (EFT) of QCD at low energies and is routinely used to complement lattice QCD analyses. EFT matching can be used to relate objects, such as operators and correlators, in the UV theory (QCD) to those in the IR EFT ($\chi$PT). In this talk, we present a charge matrix spurion analysis to match diagrams with external vector...

    Precision measurements provide a powerful probe of physics beyond the Standard Model, but their sensitivity is often limited by our ability to control hadronic effects. In this talk, I will focus on the hadronic contribution to the running of the electroweak gauge couplings, with particular emphasis on $\Delta\alpha_{\mathrm{had}}^{(5)}(M_Z^2)$.

    I will present a recent high-precision...

We will present the results of the calculation from 48I and 64I gauge-field ensembles at $a^{-1}=1.73$ GeV and $a^{-1}=2.359$ GeV, respectively. Additionally, we will present the...

    We present an update to the Mainz effort on the HLbL contribution to the muon $(g-2)$. We extended the number of ensembles for the calculation of the pion transition from factor $\mathcal{F}_{\pi^0 \gamma^* \gamma^*}$. This especially includes the disconnected diagrams. The form factor is the main ingredient in the calculation of the pion-pole contribution to the HLbL.
    We will also show a new...

    Within the RC* programme, we are working towards an independent lattice calculation of the hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) contribution to the muon $g$-2, with $C^\star$ boundary conditions using openQxD. As a proof of concept, we compute the analogous leptonic light-by-light contribution in quenched QED at large coupling, benchmarked against the perturbative Laporta–Remiddi result, and present...

    We calculate the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using staggered fermions at the physical point. This is done by evaluating four-point functions in position space using a method based on the idea by the Mainz group, which is adapted to staggered fermions. Our calculation is carried out for several physical volumes and lattice...

    We present results for the hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) contribution from lattice-QCD calculations based on ETMC's Nf​=2+1+1 Wilson-clover twisted-mass ensembles at the physical point. These include continuum extrapolations for the strange- and charm-quark connected contributions and results for the light-quark connected and 2+2 disconnected contributions at two lattice spacings.

    Data-driven evaluations of the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment rely critically on precise experimental inputs.

    We study a linear combination of $a_e$ and $a_\mu$ that utilizes the strong correlation between the hadronic contributions to both anomalous magnetic moments. This subtracted observable potentially reduces the uncertainties associated with higher energy contributions, and may help address the current discrepancy between lattice and data-driven evaluations, through improved measurements of...

    In the past decades, the muon g-2 has attracted a lot of attention as a powerful probe
    of physics beyond the Standard Model. However, in light of the updated SM value and
    final result of the Fermilab measurement, its impact on a wide range of BSM scenarios
    has to be reevaluated.
    In this talk I discuss how g-2 connects to a number of complementary observables
    relevant in searches for new...
