The Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment: A Probe for Physics beyond the Standard Model of High Energy Physics

The search for physics beyond the standard model, either in direct collider or in high precision low energy experiments is a most active endeavour in particle physics. A prime candidate for the detection of this new physics is the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In this project, we present a lattice QCD calculation of the leading order hadronic contribution of the lepton anomalous magnetic moments, i.e. for the electron, the muon and the tau. Such lattice calculations are indispensable as input for the non-perturbative contributions as required in newly planned experiments for measuring these anomalous magnetic moments.
