Abstract
We present a lattice calculation of the hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution of the strange and charm quarks to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in isospin symmetric QCD. We employ the gauge configurations generated by the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) with Nf=2+1+1 flavors of Wilson-clover twisted-mass quarks at five lattice spacings and at values of the quark mass parameters that are close and/or include the isospin symmetric QCD point of interest. After computing the small corrections necessary to precisely match this point, and carrying out an extrapolation to the continuum limit based on the data at lattice spacings a≃0.049, 0.057, 0.068, 0.080 fm and spatial lattice sizes up to L≃7.6 fm, we obtain aμHVP(s)=(53.57±0.63)×10-10 and aμHVP(c)=(14.56±0.13)×10-10, for the quark-connected strange and charm contributions, respectively. Our findings agree well with the corresponding results by other lattice groups.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
