Description

To deliver a precise determination of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution of light quarks to the muon $(g-2)$, lattice calculations must overcome a number of challenges. These include a signal-to-noise problem, finite-volume effects and, when staggered fermions are used, significant taste-breaking effects. I will present some of the solutions which the BMW collaboration has been investigating to mitigate these problems.
