Novel evaluation of the hadronic contribution to the muon's g -2 from QCD
Abstract
We evaluate the hadronic contribution to the g -2 of the muon by deriving the low-energy limit of QCD and computing in this way the hadronic vacuum polarization. The low-energy limit is a nonlocal Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model that has all the parameters fixed from QCD, and the only experimental input used is the confinement scale that is known from measurements of hadronic physics. Our estimations provide a novel analytical alternative to the current lattice computations and we find that our result is close to the similar computation performed from experimental data. We also comment on how this analytical approach technique, in general, may provide prospective estimates for hadronic computations from dark sectors and its implication in beyond Standard Model building in future.
