Improved determination of the hadronic contribution to the muon (

Abstract: We have reevaluated the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g − 2) and to the running of the QED fine structure constant α(s) at s = M 2 Z . We incorporated new data from hadronic τ decays, recently published by the ALEPH Collaboration. In addition, compared to previous analyses, we use more extensive e + e − annihilation data sets. The integration over the total hadronic cross section is performed using experimental data up to 40 GeV and results from perturbative QCD above 40 G… Show more

“…First of all, we start by fitting separately e + e − and τ data, in the timelike region, using (3.9a) (we remark that although in a(2π; t ≤ 0.8 GeV 2 ) only 5 At the level of 1.5 to 2σ. 6 The relevance of isospin breaking in this context was pointed out by V. Cirigliano, G. This takes into account statistical errors only for e + e − , but includes systematic ones for τ decay as these are incorporated in the available data.…”
