Description

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.
