We present a new lattice QCD calculation of the leading order hadronic vacuum polarization (LO-HVP) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_\mu$. We reduce uncertainties compared to our earlier computation arXiv:2002.12347 by a factor of 1.6. We perform simulations on finer lattices allowing for an even more accurate continuum extrapolation. We also include a small, long-distance contribution obtained using input from experiments in a low-energy regime where they all agree. Combined with other standard model contributions our result, $a_\mu^{LO-HVP}=715.1(2.5)(2.3)[3.4] \times 10^{-10}$, leads to a prediction that differs from the recent measurement of $a_\mu$ by only 0.5 standard deviations. This provides a remarkable validation of the standard model to 11 digits.

  1. Lattice determination of the higher-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon $g-2$

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Lattice QCD gives a_μ^{hvp,nlo} = (-101.57 ± 0.60) × 10^{-11} at 0.6% precision, 1.4σ below the 2025 White Paper estimate and in 4.6σ tension with pre-CMD-3 data-driven results.

  2. Muon $g$$-$2: correlation-induced uncertainties in precision data combinations

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A general framework quantifies correlation-induced uncertainties in precision data combinations and applies it to e+e- to hadrons cross sections for muon g-2 HVP determinations.

  3. Aspects of a Five-Dimensional $U(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau}$ Model at Future Muon-Based Colliders

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Future muon colliders can probe Kaluza-Klein excitations of a 5D U(1)_{Lμ-Lτ} gauge boson across MeV to TeV masses with couplings down to 10^{-5}.

  4. Comparison of the hadronic vacuum polarization between hadronic $\tau$-decay data and lattice QCD

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Lattice QCD and tau-decay dispersive calculations of isospin-one HVP generally agree, except for a significant difference in the 2π−π+π0 four-pion mode contribution to window quantities.

  5. Variance reduction strategies for lattice QCD

    hep-lat 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Variance reduction schemes based on decompositions of quark propagators have proven useful for precision lattice QCD observables and may help reduce the computational cost of reaching large volumes.

  6. An Update on the Isospin-Breaking Effects in the Pion Decay Constant with Staggered Quarks

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Preliminary update on isospin-breaking corrections to the pion decay constant in staggered N_f=2+1+1 QCD with QED_L, including correlator data for scale setting.
