| dc.description | The correction to the muon anomalous magnetic moment from the pion-pole contribution to the hadronic light-by-light scattering is considered using a description of the pi0 - gamma* - gamma* transition form factor based on the large-Nc and short-distance properties of QCD. The resulting two-loop integrals are treated by first performing the angular integration analytically, using the method of Gegenbauer polynomials, followed by a numerical evaluation of the remaining two-dimensional integration over the moduli of the Euclidean loop momenta. The value obtained, a_{mu}(LbyL;pi0) = +5.8 (1.0) x 10^{-10}, disagrees with other recent calculations. In the case of the vector meson dominance form factor, the result obtained by following the same procedure reads a_{mu}(LbyL;pi0)_{VMD} = +5.6 x 10^{-10}, and differs only by its overall sign from the value obtained by previous authors. Inclusion of the eta and eta-prime poles gives a total value a_{mu}(LbyL;PS) = +8.3 (1.2) x 10^{-10} for the three pseudoscalar states. This result substantially reduces the difference between the experimental value of a_{mu} and its theoretical counterpart in the standard model. | |
