The $η/η' \rightarrow π^+ π^- γ$ Decays within BHLS$_2$ and the Muon HVP

The departure of the latest FNAL experimental average for the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_μ=(g_μ-2)/2$ measurements having increased from $4.2 σ$ to $5.0 σ$, with respect to the White Paper consensus, it may indicate a hint for new physics. As the most delicate piece of $a_μ$ is its leading order HVP part $a_μ^{HVP-LO}$, methods to ascertain its theoretical value are crucial to interpret this discrepancy. We propose to examine the dipion spectra from the $η/η' \rightarrow π^+ π^- γ$ decays in the Hidden Local Symmetry (HLS) context using its BHLS$_2$ broken variant. We thus have at our disposal a framework where the close relationship of the dipion spectra from the $η/η'$ and $τ$ decays and of the $e^+e^- \to π^+π^-$ annihilation can be simultaneously considered. A special focus is put to the high statistic dipion spectra from the $η$ decay collected by the KLOE/KLOE2 Collaboration and $η'$ decay collected by the BESIII Collaboration, and it is shown that the BHLS$_2$ framework provides a fair account of their dipion spectra. More precisely, it is first proven that a single Omnès representation real polynomial is requested, common to both the $η$ and $η'$ dipion spectra. Moreover, it is shown that fits involving the $η/η'/τ$ dipion spectra, and excluding the $e^+e^- \to π^+π^-$ annihilation data, allow for a prediction of the pion vector form factor data $F_π(s)$ which fairly agree with the usual dipion spectra collected in the $e^+e^- \to π^+π^-$ annihilation channel. Even if more precise $η/η'/τ$ dipion spectra would help to be fully conclusive, this confirms the Dispersive Approach results for $a_μ^{HVP-LO}$ and points towards a common non experiment-dependent origin to this tension with the now well accepted LQCD result.

BHLS$_2$ Upgrade : $τ$ spectra, muon HVP and the [$π^0,~η,~η^\prime$] System

The generic Hidden Local Symmetry (HLS) model has given rise to the BHLS$_2$ variant which introduces symmetry breaking in the vector meson sector; the central mechanism is a modification of the covariant derivative at the root of the HLS approach. However, the description of the Belle $τ$ dipion spectra is not satisfactory whereas the dealing with its annihilation sector ($e^+ e^- \rightarrow π^+ π^-/π^+ π^-π^0/ π^0 γ/ηγ/K^+ K^-/K_L K_S$) is optimum. This issue is solved by an additional breaking term allowing to include the $[π^0,η,η^\prime]$ system. This extension of the usual 't~Hooft determinant term only affects the BHLS$_2$ kinetic energy term. One obtains a fair account for the $τ$ dipion spectra as well as for the annihilation channels. The Belle dipion spectrum provides evidence for a violation of CVC in the $τ$ lepton decay; this evidence is strengthened by imposing the conditions $<0|J_μ^q |[q^\prime \overline{q^\prime}](p)>=ip_μf_q δ_{q q^\prime }, \{ [q \overline{q}], q=u,d,s\}$ on BHLS$_2$ axial current matrix elements. BHLS$_2$ is found to recover the usual (completed) formulae for the [$π^0,~η,~η^\prime$] mixing parameters and the global fits return mixing parameter values in agreement with expectations and better uncertainties. Updating the muon HVP, one argues that the strong tension between the KLOE and BaBar pion form factors imposes to provide two solutions : $a_μ^{HVP-LO}({\rm KLOE})=687.31 \pm 2.93$ and $a_μ^{HVP-LO}({\rm BaBar})=692.36 \pm 2.95$, in units of $10^{-10}$, rather than some combination of these. Taking into account common systematics, their differences with the experimental BNL-FNAL average value exhibit significances $> 5.4σ$ (KLOE) and $> 4.1σ$ (BaBar) with fit probabilities favoring the former.
