Lattice QCD calculation of HVP of muon.

The exciting experimental measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon ($a_\mu$) from the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment, combined with the earlier result from BNL, raises the hope of a measurable failure of the standard model of particle physics. However, a recent lattice QCD calculation of the leading hadronic order hadronic correction to $a_\mu$ amu from the BMW collaboration found better agree with experiment, thus motivating further improvements in the lattice QCD calculations.
