Title: The muon anomalous magnetic moment and the pion polarizability

Abstract

We compute the charged pion loop contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment , taking into account the previously omitted effect of the charged pion polarizability, (α11)π+. Here, we evaluate this contribution using two different models that are consistent with the requirements of chiral symmetry in the low-momentum regime and perturbative quantum chromodynamics in the asymptotic region. The result may increase the disagreement between the present experimental value for αμ and the theoretical, Standard Model prediction by as much as ~60 x 10-11 depending on the value of (α11)π+ and the choice of the model. The planned determination of (α11)π+ at Jefferson Laboratory will eliminate the dominant parametric error, leaving a theoretical model uncertainty commensurate with the error expected from planned Fermilab measurement of αμ.
