Lattice calculation of the short and intermediate time-distance hadronic vacuum polarization contributions to the muon magnetic moment using twisted-mass fermions

Abstract

We present a lattice determination of the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_{\mu }^{\mathrm{HVP}}$, in the so-called short and intermediate time-distance windows, $a_{\mu }^{\mathrm{SD}}$ and $a_{\mu }^{\mathrm{W}}$, defined by the RBC/UKQCD Collaboration [1]. We employ gauge ensembles produced by the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) with $N_f=2+1+1$ flavors of Wilson-clover twisted-mass quarks with masses of all the dynamical quark flavors tuned close to their physical values. The simulations are carried out at three values of the lattice spacing equal to $\simeq 0.057,0.068$ and $0.080$ fm with spatial lattice sizes up to $L\simeq 7.6$~fm. For the short distance window we obtain $a_{\mu }^{\mathrm{SD}}(\mathrm{ETMC})=69.27(34)\cdot 10^{-10}$, which is consistent with the recent dispersive value of $a_{\mu }^{\mathrm{SD}}(e^{+}{e}^{-})=68.4(5)\cdot 10^{-10}$ [2]. In the case of the intermediate window we get the value $a_{\mu }^{\mathrm{W}}(\mathrm{ETMC})=236.3(1.3)\cdot 10^{-10}$, which is consistent with the result $a_{\mu }^{\mathrm{W}}(\mathrm{BMW})=236.7(1.4)\cdot 10^{-10}$ [3] by the BMW collaboration as well as with the recent determination by the CLS/Mainz group of $a_{\mu }^{\mathrm{W}}(\mathrm{CLS})=237.30(1.46)\cdot 10^{-10}$ [4]. However, it is larger than the dispersive result of $a_{\mu }^{\mathrm{W}}(e^{+}{e}^{-})=229.4(1.4)\cdot 10^{-10}$ [2] by approximately $3.6$ standard deviations. The tension increases to approximately $4.5$ standard deviations if we average our ETMC result with those by BMW and CLS/Mainz. Our accurate lattice results in the short and intermediate windows point to a possible deviation of the $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ cross section data with respect to Standard Model predictions in the low and intermediate energy regions, but not in the high energy region.
