Numerical calculation of the full two-loop electroweak corrections to muon (g-2)

Abstract

Numerical calculation of two-loop electroweak corrections to the muon anomalous magnetic moment ($g$-2) is done based on, on shell renormalization scheme (OS) and free quark model (FQM). The GRACE-FORM system is used to generate Feynman diagrams and corresponding amplitudes. Total 1780 two-loop diagrams and 70 one-loop diagrams composed of counter terms are calculated to get the renormalized quantity. As for the numerical calculation, we adopt trapezoidal rule with Double Exponential method (DE). Linear extrapolation method (LE) is introduced to regularize UV- and IR-divergences and to get finite values. The reliability of our result is guaranteed by several conditions. The sum of one and two loop electroweak corrections in this renormalization scheme becomes $a_\mu^{EW:OS}[1{\rm+}2{\rm -loop}]= 151.2 (\pm 1.0)\times 10^{-11}$, where the error is due to the numerical integration and the uncertainty of input mass parameters and of the hadronic corrections to electroweak loops. By taking the hadronic corrections into account, we get $a_\mu^{EW}[1{\rm+}2 {\rm -loop}]= 152.9 (\pm 1.0)\times 10^{-11}$. It is in agreement with the previous works given in PDG within errors.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
