Lattice calculation of the lowest order hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment: an update with Kogut-Susskind fermions

الأصل · EN

I present a preliminary calculation of the hadronic vacuum polarization for 2+1 flavors of improved Kogut-Susskind quarks by utilizing a set of gauge configurations recently generated by the MILC collaboration. The polarization function Π(q²) is then used to calculate the lowest order (in αQED) hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment.
