We present our preliminary results on the calculation of hadronic light-by-light forward scattering amplitudes using vector four-point correlation functions computed on the lattice. Using a dispersive approach, forward scattering amplitudes can be described by γ*γ* → hadrons fusion cross sections and then compared with phenomenology. We show that only a few states are needed to reproduce our data. In particular, the sum rules considered in this study imply relations between meson–γγ couplings and provide valuable information about individual form factors which are often used to estimate the meson-pole contributions to the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the (g – 2) of the muon.

Abstract Isospin-1/2 Dπ scattering amplitudes are computed using lattice QCD, working in a single volume of approximately (3.6 fm)3 and with a light quark mass corresponding to mπ ≈ 239 MeV. The spectrum of the elastic Dπ energy region is computed yielding 20 energy levels. Using the Lüscher finite-volume quantisation condition, these energies are translated into constraints on the infinite-volume scattering amplitudes and hence enable us to map out the energy dependence of elastic Dπ scattering. By analytically continuing a range of scattering amplitudes, a $$ {D}_0^{\ast } $$ D 0 ∗ resonance pole is consistently found strongly coupled to the S-wave Dπ channel, with a mass m ≈ 2200 MeV and a width Γ ≈ 400 MeV. Combined with earlier work investigating the $$ {D}_{s0}^{\ast } $$ D s 0 ∗ , and $$ {D}_0^{\ast } $$ D 0 ∗ with heavier light quarks, similar couplings between each of these scalar states and their relevant meson-meson scattering channels are determined. The mass of the $$ {D}_0^{\ast } $$ D 0 ∗ is consistently found well below that of the $$ {D}_{s0}^{\ast } $$ D s 0 ∗ , in contrast to the currently reported experimental result.

Abstract We estimate the form factors that parametrise the hadronic matrix elements of proton-to-pion transitions with the help of light-cone sum rules. These form factors are relevant for semi-leptonic proton decay channels induced by baryon-number violating dimension-six operators, as typically studied in the context of grand unified theories. We calculate the form factors in a kinematical regime where the momentum transfer from the proton to the pion is space-like and extrapolate our final results to the regime that is relevant for proton decay. In this way, we obtain estimates for the form factors that show agreement with the state-of-the-art calculations in lattice QCD, if systematic uncertainties are taken into account. Our work is a first step towards calculating more involved proton decay channels where lattice QCD results are not available at present.

Abstract Elastic scattering amplitudes for I = 0 DK and I = 0, 1 $$ D\overline{K} $$ D K ¯ are computed in S, P and D partial waves using lattice QCD with light-quark masses corresponding to mπ = 239 MeV and mπ = 391 MeV. The S-waves contain interesting features including a near-threshold JP = 0+ bound state in I = 0 DK, corresponding to the $$ {D}_{s0}^{\ast } $$ D s 0 ∗ (2317), with an effect that is clearly visible above threshold, and suggestions of a 0+ virtual bound state in I = 0 $$ D\overline{K} $$ D K ¯ . The S-wave I = 1 $$ D\overline{K} $$ D K ¯ amplitude is found to be weakly repulsive. The computed finite-volume spectra also contain a deeply-bound D* vector resonance, but negligibly small P -wave DK interactions are observed in the energy region considered; the P and D-wave $$ D\overline{K} $$ D K ¯ amplitudes are also small. There is some evidence of 1+ and 2+ resonances in I = 0 DK at higher energies.

I present a status report of the hadronic vacuum polarization effects for the muon g–2, to be considered as an update of [1]. The update concerns recent new inclusive R measurements from KEDR in the energy range 1.84 to 3.72 GeV. For the leading order contributions I find [see formula in PDF] based on e+e- data [incl. τ data], [see formula in PDF] (NLO) and [see formula in PDF] (NNLO). Collecting recent progress in the hadronic light-by-light scattering I adopt π0, η, η' [95 ± 12] + axial-vector [8 ± 3] + scalar [-6 ± 1] + π, K loops [-20 ± 5] + quark loops [22 ± 4] + tensor [1 ± 0] + NLO [3 ± 2] which yields [see formula in PDF]. With these updates I find [see formula in PDF] a 4.1 σ deviation. Recent lattice QCD results and future prospects to improve hadronic contributions are discussed.
