Abstract

We have computed the hadronic light-by-light (LbL) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment \$a\_\mu\$ in the frame of Chiral Perturbation Theory with the inclusion of the lightest resonance multiplets as dynamical fields (R\$\chi\$T). It is essential to give a more accurate prediction of this hadronic contribution due to the future projects of J-Parc and FNAL on reducing the uncertainty in this observable. We, therefore, computed the pseudoscalar transition form factor and proposed the measurement of the \$e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^-\pi^0\$ cross section and dimuon invariant mass spectrum to determine more accurately its parameters. Then, we evaluated the pion exchange contribution to \$a\_\mu\$, obtaining \$(6.66\pm0.21)\cdot10^-10\$. By comparing the pion exchange contribution and the pion-pole approximation to the corresponding transition form factor (\$\pi\$TFF) we recalled that the latter underestimates the complete \$\pi\$TFF by (15-20)\%. Then, we obtained the \$\eta^('^)\$ TFF, obtaining a total contribution of the lightest pseudoscalar exchanges of \$(10.47\pm0.54)\cdot10^-10\$, in agreement with previous results and with smaller error.
