The current measurement of muonic g-2 disagrees with the theoretical calculation by about 3 standard deviations. Hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) and hadronic light by light (HLbL) are the two types of processes that contribute most to the theoretical uncertainty. The current value for HLbL is still given by a model . In this talk, I will describe results from a first-principles lattice...

The first-principles calculation of the hadronic light-by-light scattering (HLbL) contribution is the most critical issue in the theory of the muon $g-2$ to confront the standard model prediction with the more accurate experimental result to be provided in the next five years. The feasibility of the lattice QCD computation of the HLbL contribution has been demonstrated for the “connected...

We explore methods to improve the volume-dependence of lattice QCD+QED simulations. Applications to QED mass-splittings, QED corrections to decay constants, and the computation of the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment are discussed.

We present preliminary results for the strange leading-order hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using RBC/UKQCD physical point domain wall fermions ensembles. We discuss various analysis strategies in order to constrain the systematic uncertainty in the final result.

The muon anomalous magnetic moment constitute one of the most important tension between experimental measurements and the Standard Model predictions. The dominant theoretical uncertainties is coming from hadronic contributions, therefore it is crucial to aim at determining precisely and reliably this quantity from lattice QCD. Most of the contributions to the leading hadronic contribution...

We report our (HPQCD) progress with the lattice QCD calculations of both the connected and disconnected hadronic Vacuum Polarisation (HVP) contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g-2). Our method uses Padé approximants to reconstruct the Adler function from its derivatives at q^2=0. These are obtained simply and accurately from time-moments of the vector current-current...

We investigate finite volume effects in the hadronic vacuum polarization,

anomalous magnetic moment. While it is well known that leading-order
chiral perturbation theory does not provide a good description of the
hadronic vacuum polarization, it turns out that it gives a much better
representation of finite volume...

We describe a lattice approach to calculate the leading-order anomalous

Several leading lattice collaborations are investing significant effort to reduce the uncertainty in the lattice computation of the HVP to a sub-percent level. In order to achieve this goal, giving an estimate of the size of the isospin breaking effects becomes relevant. Recently, the RM123 developed a method for separating QCD from QED isospin breaking effects based on expansion of the...

Parton Distribution function can be obtained from calculating
the hadronic tensor on the lattice. It involves a 4-point function evaluation
with two vector or axial-vector currents. We propose to use the source method for
one of the currents and effectively reduce the numerical complexity to that of
a 3-point function. The method can be generalized to evaluate other 4-point functions.

We present the first calculation of the pion electromagnetic form factor at physical light quark masses. This form factor parameterises the deviations from the behaviour of a point-like particle when a photon hits the pion. These deviations result from the internal structure of the pion and can thus be calculated in QCD. We use three sets (different lattice spacings) of n_f = 2+1+1 lattice...

The nucleon-pion-state contributions to QCD two- and three-point functions used in the calculation of the nucleon axial charge are studied in chiral perturbation theory. For sufficiently small quark masses and large volumes the nucleon-pion states are expected to have smaller total energy than the single-particle excited states. To leading order in chiral perturbation theory the results do not...

Especially the stangeness-content is of significant interest for dark-matter searches, as it determines the coupling of several dark matter candidates to hadronic matter.

Neutron-antineutron oscillations are hypothetical processes changing the baryon number by 2 units.
