Light-by-Light Hadronic Corrections to the Muon G-2 Problem Within the Nonlocal Chiral Quark Model

Resumo

Results of calculation of the light-by-light contribution from the lightest neutral pseudoscalar and scalar mesons and the dynamical quark loop to the muon anomalous magnetic moment are discussed in the framework of the nonlocal SU(3) × SU(3) chiral quark model. The model is based on four-quark interaction of the Nambu–Jona–Lasinio type and Kobayashi–Maskawa–‘t Hooft six-quark interaction. The full kinematic dependence of vertices with off-shell mesons and photons in intermediate states in the light-by-light scattering amplitude is taken into account. All calculations are elaborated in explicitly gauge-invariant manner. These results complete calculations of all hadronic light-by-light scattering contributions to aμ in the leading order in the 1/N_c expansion. The final result does not allow the discrepancy between the experiment and the Standard Model to be explained.
