Description
Measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (muon $g-2$) are among the most precise tests of the Standard Model, but efforts to achieve an equally precise theoretical prediction are presently impeded. Significant tensions within the hadronic data inputs to the dispersive approach, and further tensions between dispersive and newer lattice values, are currently still unexplained. I will discuss these current tensions and relevant recent developments with a focus on the dispersive approach. This work constitutes a necessary step towards determining a best possible theory estimate of the muon anomalous magnetic moment and fully realising the power of the experimental measurement to constrain potential new physics.
