    The analysis of low-energy e+e- scattering experiments at electron-positron colliders requires robust and precise Monte Carlo generators, which are essential for precision tests of the Standard Model, such as the dispersive evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g−2. As part of the community-driven initiative RadioMonteCarlow2, we aim to collect these Monte...

    The leading-order hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution to the muon
    anomalous magnetic moment, $a_\mu = (g-2)_\mu / 2$, can be evaluated either
    through $ab\,\, initio$ lattice QCD calculations or via data-driven
    dispersive analyses based on low-energy $e^+e^- \to$ hadrons
    cross-section measurements. In this framework, the dipion production
    channel accounts for approximately...

    The Monte Carlo event generator PHOKHARA has been widely used to simulate electron-positron annihilation into hadrons plus a hard photon with next-to-leading-order (NLO) accuracy. It includes virtual and soft-photon corrections to single-photon emission, as well as events with two hard real photons. In this talk, we present recent progress in extending PHOKHARA beyond NLO precision. First, we...

    PrecisionSM is an annotated database that compiles the available data on low-energy cross sections of electron-positron collisions into hadronic channels. This database organizes and collects data samples from $e^+e^-$ experiments, which are used as input for the data-driven theoretical evaluation of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_{\mu}$, serving as a precise test of the Standard Model...
