Progress on (g-2)μ from Lattice QCD

Abstract

I review the status of lattice QCD calculations of the hadronic contributions to the muon's anomalous magnetic moment, focussing on the hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution which dominates the uncertainty of the Standard Model prediction.This quantity exhibits a tension between recent lattice QCD results and the traditional data-driven dispersive method. I discuss the implications for the running of the electromagnetic coupling and the consistency of global fits using electroweak precision data.
