Hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon

Abstract
We have evaluated the hadronic contribution to the muon anomaly arising from diagrams containing hadronic light-by-light scattering subdiagrams using two different models. Our result is 49(5)×1011 which disagrees with an earlier calculation. We have also improved the contribution of the hadronic vacuum polarization diagrams to second- and fourth-order QED diagrams, using the latest experimental data. The results are 707(19)×1010 and -90(5)×1011, respectively. The complete hadronic contribution is thus 703(19)×1010. The remaining error comes predominantly from the experimental inputs needed for evaluating the hadronic vacuum polarization effect.
