This paper reports the Feynman-parametric representation of the vacuum-polarization function consisting of 105 Feynman diagrams of the eighth order, and its contribution to the gauge-invariant set called Set I(i) of the tenth-order lepton anomalous magnetic moment. Numerical evaluation of this set is carried out using FORTRAN codes generated by an automatic code generation system gencodevpN developed specifically for this purpose. The contribution of diagrams containing electron loop to the electron g-2 is 0.017 47 (11) (alpha/pi)^5. The contribution of diagrams containing muon loop is 0.000 001 67 (3) (alpha/pi)^5. The contribution of tau-lepton loop is negligible at present. The sum of all these terms is 0.017 47 (11) (alpha/pi)^5. The contribution of diagrams containing electron loop to the muon g-2 is 0.087 1 (59) (alpha/pi)^5. That of tau-lepton loop is 0.000 237 (1) (alpha/pi)^5. The total contribution to a_mu, the sum of these terms and the mass-independent term, is 0.104 8 (59) (alpha/pi)^5.
This paper reports the evaluation of the tenth-order QED contribution to the lepton g-2 from the gauge-invariant set of 2072 Feynman diagrams, called Set IV, which are obtained by inserting a second-order lepton vacuum-polarization loop into 518 eighth-order vertex diagrams of four-photon exchange type. The numerical evaluation is carried out by the adaptive-iterative Monte-Carlo integration routine vegas using the fortran codes written by the automatic code-generating algorithm gencodeN. Some of the numerical results are confirmed by comparison with the values of corresponding integrals that …
This paper presents a detailed account of evaluation of the electron anomalous magnetic moment a_e which arises from the gauge-invariant set, called Set V, consisting of 6354 tenth-order Feynman diagrams without closed lepton loops. The latest value of the sum of Set V diagrams evaluated by the Monte-Carlo integration routine VEGAS is 8.726(336)(α/π)^5, which replaces the very preliminary value reported in 2012. Combining it with other 6318 tenth-order diagrams published previously we obtain 7.795(336)(α/π)^5 as the complete mass-independent tenth-order term. Together with the improved value o…
The important consequences of the recent results of the numerical evaluations of eighth and tenth order QED contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of electron are commented. The correctness of the results of the numerical evaluation of new eighth order QED corrections to the electron anomaly are supported by the demonstration of their consistency with the new analytical expressions for the QED contributions to $a_e$ from the diagrams with fourth-order light-by-light scattering muon and tau-lepton loops. The consistency of the similar results are demonstrated in the case of eighth order…
This paper presents the complete QED contribution to the electron g-2 up to the tenth order. With the help of the automatic code generator, we have evaluated all 12672 diagrams of the tenth-order diagrams and obtained 9.16 (58)(α/π)^5. We have also improved the eighth-order contribution obtaining -1.9097(20)(α/π)^4, which includes the mass-dependent contributions. These results lead to a_e(theory)=1 159 652 181.78 (77) \times 10^{-12}. The improved value of the fine-structure constant α^{-1} = 137.035 999 174 (35) [0.25 ppb] is also derived from the theory and measurement of a_e.
We report the result of our calculation of the complete tenth-order QED terms of the muon g-2. Our result is a_μ^{(10)} = 753.29 (1.04) in units of (α/π)^5, which is about 4.5 s.d. larger than the leading-logarithmic estimate 663 (20). We also improved the precision of the eighth-order QED term of a_μ, obtaining a_μ^{(8)} = 130.8794(63) in units of (α/π)^4. The new QED contribution is a_μ(QED) = 116 584 718 951 (80) \times 10^{-14}, which does not resolve the existing discrepancy between the standard-model prediction and measurement of a_μ.
This paper reports the tenth-order QED contribution to the lepton g-2 from the gauge-invariant set, called Set III(c), which consists of 390 Feynman vertex diagrams containing an internal fourth-order light-by-light-scattering subdiagram. The mass-independent contribution of Set III(c) to the electron g-2 (a_e) is 4.9210(103) in units of (alpha/pi)^5. The mass-dependent contributions to a_e from diagrams containing a muon loop is 0.00370(37) (alpha/pi)^5. The tau-lepton loop contribution is negligible at present. Altogether the contribution of Set III(c) to a_e is 4.9247 (104) (alpha/pi)^5. We…
This paper reports the tenth-order QED contribution to lepton g-2 from diagrams of three gauge-invariant sets VI(d), VI(g), and VI(h), which are obtained by including various fourth-order radiative corrections to the sixth-order g-2 containing light-by-light-scattering subdiagrams. In the case of electron g-2, they consist of 492, 480, and 630 vertex Feynman diagrams, respectively. The results of numerical integration, including mass-dependent terms containing muon loops, are 1.8418(95) (alpha/pi)^5 for the Set VI(d), -1.5918(65) (alpha/pi)^5 for the Set VI(g), and 0.1797(40) (alpha/pi)^5 for …
This paper reports the tenth-order contributions to the g-2 of the electron a_e and those of the muon a_mu from the gauge-invariant Set II(c), which consists of 36 Feynman diagrams, and Set II(d), which consists of 180 Feynman diagrams. Both sets are obtained by insertion of sixth-order vacuum-polarization diagrams in the fourth-order anomalous magnetic moment. The mass-independent contributions from Set II(c) and Set II(d) are -0.116 489 (32)(alpha/pi)^5 and -0.243 00 (29)(alpha/pi)^5, respectively. The leading contributions to a_mu, which involve electron loops only, are -3.888 27 (90)(alpha…
This paper reports the result of our evaluation of the tenth-order QED correction to the lepton g-2 from Feynman diagrams which have sixth-order light-by-light-scattering subdiagrams, none of whose vertices couple to the external magnetic field. The gauge-invariant set of these diagrams, called Set II(e), consists of 180 vertex diagrams. In the case of the electron g-2 (a_e), where the light-by-light subdiagram consists of the electron loop, the contribution to a_e is found to be - 1.344 9 (10) (α/π)^5. The contribution of the muon loop to a_e is - 0.000 465 (4) (α/π)^5. The contribution of th…
This paper reports the values of contributions to the electron g-2 from 300 Feynman diagrams of the gauge-invariant Set III(a) and 450 Feynman diagrams of the gauge-invariant Set III(b). The evaluation is carried out in two versions. Version A is to start from the sixth-order magnetic anomaly M_6 obtained in the previous work. The mass-independent contributions of Set III(a) and Set III(b) are 2.1275 (2) and 3.3271 (6) in units of (alpha/pi)^5, respectively. Version B is based on the recently-developed automatic code generation scheme. This method yields 2.1271 (3) and 3.3271 (8) in units of (…
We compute the eighth-order fermionic corrections involving two and three closed massless fermion loops to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The required four-loop on-shell integrals are classified and explicit analytical results for the master integrals are presented. As further applications we compute the corresponding four-loop QCD corrections to the mass and wave function renormalization constants for a massive quark in the on-shell scheme.
In order to improve the theoretical prediction of the electron anomalous magnetic moment $a_e$ we have carried out a new numerical evaluation of the 389 integrals of Set V, which represent 6,354 Feynman vertex diagrams without lepton loops. During this work, we found that one of the integrals, called $X024$, was given a wrong value in the previous calculation due to an incorrect assignment of integration variables. The correction of this error causes a shift of $-1.25$ to the Set~V contribution, and hence to the tenth-order universal (i.e., mass-independent) term $ A_1^{(10)}$. The previous ev…
The contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the lepton $L$ ($L=e\ , μ$ or $τ$) generated by a specific class of QED diagrams are evaluated analytically up to the eighth order of the electromagnetic coupling constant. The considered class of the Feynman diagrams involves the vacuum polarization insertions into the electromagnetic vertex of the lepton $L$ up to three closed lepton loops. The corresponding analytical expressions are obtained as functions of the mass ratios $r=m_l/m_L$ in the whole region $0 < r < \infty$. Our consideration is based on a combined use of the dispersion re…
