The situation of the experimental data used in the dispersive evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is assessed in view of two recent measurements: $e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-$ cross sections in the $\rho$ resonance region by CMD-3 and a study of higher-order radiative effects in the initial-state-radiation processes $e^+e^- \to \mu^+\mu^-\gamma$ and $e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ by BABAR. The impact of the latter study on the KLOE and BESIII cross-section measurements is evaluated and found to be indicative of larger systematic effects than uncertainties assigned. The new situation also warrants a reappraisal of the independent information provided by hadronic $\tau$ decays, including state-of-the-art isospin-breaking corrections. The findings cast a new light on the longstanding deviation between the muon $g-2$ measurement and the Standard Model prediction using the data-driven dispersive approach, and the comparison with lattice QCD calculations.

  1. The OPE Approach to Renormalization: Operator Mixing

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    OPE-based recursive renormalization for mixed composite operators gives five-loop anomalous dimensions in phi^4 and two-loop in phi^3 models.

  2. Hadronic vacuum polarization in hydrogen-like atoms and ions amid the interplay of recoil and finite-size effects

    physics.atom-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    The hVP contribution to the HFS in muonic hydrogen is 2.153(11) µeV, deviating from previous evaluations by ~10x the anticipated experimental precision, due to corrected recoil and finite-size interplay.

  3. Isospin-breaking effects in inclusive hadronic $\tau$ data for the muon $(g-2)$ from first principles

    hep-lat 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A lattice QCD+QED strategy is outlined for calculating isospin-breaking effects in inclusive tau decays to support high-precision HVP contributions to muon g-2.

  4. 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.

  5. The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the Standard Model: an update

    hep-ph 2025-05 accept novelty 5.0

    The updated SM prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment is 116592033(62)×10^{-11}, showing no tension with the experimental average of 38(63)×10^{-11}.

  6. 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.

  7. Hybrid calculation of hadronic vacuum polarization in muon g-2 to 0.48\%

    hep-lat 2024-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Lattice QCD on finer grids yields a_μ^LO-HVP = 715.1(3.4)×10^{-10}, producing a standard-model prediction for a_μ that differs from experiment by only 0.5 sigma.
