The muon anomalous magnetic moment in QED: three-loop electron and tau contributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an analytic calculation of electron and tau O(α) loop effects on the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Computation of such three-loop diagrams with three mass scales is possible using asymptotic and eikonal expansions. An evaluation of a new type of eikonal integrals is presented in some detail.

Electron contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment at four loops
We present results for the QED contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon containing closed electron loops. The main focus is on perturbative corrections at four-loop order where the external photon couples to the external muon. Furthermore, all four-loop contributions involving simultaneously a closed electron and tau loop are computed. In combination with our recent results on...
متن کاملElectroweak corrections to the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
We employ an effective Lagrangian approach to derive the leading-logarithm two-loop electroweak contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, a µ. We show that these corrections can be obtained using known results on the anomalous dimensions of composite operators. We confirm the result of Czarnecki et al. for the bosonic part and present the complete sin 2 θ W dependence of the fermioni...
متن کاملThree–loop QED Vacuum Polarization and the Four–loop Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment
Three–loop contributions to massive QED vacuum polarization are evaluated by a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. The first three Taylor coefficients, at small q, are obtained analytically, using d–dimensional recurrence relations. Combining these with analytical input at threshold, and at large q, an accurate Padé approximation is obtained, for all q. Inserting this in the one...
متن کاملThe QED vacuum polarization function at four loops and the anomalous magnetic moment at five loops
The anomalous moment of the muon is one of the most fundamental observables. It has been measured experimentally with a very high precision and on theory side the contributions from perturbative QED have been calculated up to five-loop level by numerical methods. Contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment from certain diagram classes are also accessible by alternative methods. In this ...
متن کاملComputing Techniques for Two-loop Corrections to Anomalous Magnetic Moments of Leptons
Two-loop electroweak corrections to the electron, muon, and tau lepton anomalous magnetic moments have been computed recently. Effects of hadronic contributions to the photon propagator in twoloop QED corrections have also been reanalysed. The common technique used in both calculations was asymptotic expansion of Feynman diagrams in the ratio of lepton mass to some heavy mass scale. In this tal...
