On dispersion relations and hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment

Melnikov, Kirill; Vainshtein, Arkady

Abstract:

We discuss the use of dispersion relations for the evaluation of the pseudoscalar contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment. We point out that, in the absence of experimental data, reconstruction of light-by-light scattering amplitudes from their absorptive parts is ambiguous and requires additional theoretical input.
The need for an additional input makes dispersive computations of the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to g-2 akin to phenomenological models, in spite of pretense to the contrary. In particular, we argue that the recent proposal [1], based on the dispersive approach, satisfies short distance constraints at the expense of unjustifiably large deviations from the chiral limit.
