Description
The long-standing discrepancy between the experimental measurement and the Standard Model prediction of the muon anomalous magnetic moment has prompted extensive theoretical and experimental efforts. Recent progress, particularly in lattice QCD and improved data-driven approaches, has led to a reassessment of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution, reducing—if not eliminating—the tension. In this talk, I will review the current status of the muon g−2, focusing on the interplay between different theoretical evaluations and the latest experimental results. Special attention will be given to the hadronic contributions, including both HVP and hadronic light-by-light scattering, and to the implications of recent QCD-based calculations. I will discuss whether a significant discrepancy remains, and what this means for the prospects of new physics.
