HVP evaluations by 2 groups, updated Tau’10 • Hagiwara, Liao, Martin, Nomura, Teubner (HLMNT) • M. Davier, A. Hoecker, B. Malaescu, Z. Zhang (DHMZ) • (BaBar team with access to preliminary data) Biggest difference is from high multiplicity states now measured at BaBar; > 1 GeV region Reduces cross sections
The new HVP evaluations also affect aQED running … and enter the global electroweak fits … Big shift !
Hadronic Light by Light Scattering • Models converging … Noteworthy: PdRV* • Other theory newer efforts • Lattice – T. Blum et al (outlines a plan for real calc) • Dyson-Schwinger – C. Fischer et al (very controversial) • AdS/QCD – Deog-Ki Hong et al – confirm leading ps term • Data connection • KLOE-2 small angle tagger and g*g p0and h to measure off-shell form factors … and compare to models am(HLbL)tot = 105 ± 26 x 10-11 *Prades, de Rafael, Vainshtein arXiv:0901.0306v1
The values & the new experimental goal Theory uncertainty = 51 x 10-11 (0.44 ppm) Experimental uncertainty = 63 x 10-11 (0.54 ppm) • 0.46 ppm statistical limit was counts • 0.21 ppm precession systematic • 0.17 ppm field systematic Leads to Dam(Expt – Thy) =297 ± 81 x 10-11 3.6 s BNL E821 Experimental goal: 63 16 x 10-11 Theory uncertainty expect: 51 30 x 10-11 Leads to Dam(Expt – Thy) =XXX ± 34 x 10-11 If central value remained, Damwould exceed 8s
Precise knowledge of amwill aid in discrimination between a wide variety of standard model extensions • UED models (1D) typically predict “tiny” effects • Incompatible with a Dam of ~ 300 x 10-11 • SUSY models – there are many – predict am contributions of about the observed magnitude for Dam • These are rather well studied, so we will consider a few cases • The “Uninvented” – perhaps most importantly, sets a stringent experimental constraint for any new models

The ± 1 ppm uniformity in the average field is obtained with special shimming tools. The dipole, quadrupole sextupole are shimmed independently 6 – 9 months required with cryogenics and ring on / off and in stable operating mode

Parasitic Muon EDM Measurement using straw tube arrays BNL statistics limited • 1 tracking station • Late turn-on time • Small acceptance • Ran 2 out of 3 years FNAL: many stations, long runs, expect ~10,000 x the events The EDM tips the precession plane, producing an up-down oscillation with time (out of phase with wa) Technique: Measureup-going/down-going tracks vs. time, (modulo g-2):
CALO X hodoscope e+ Hodoscope Detector systems • Calos: time and energy of decays • Hodoscopes: beam profiles, calo seeds, muon loss monitor • In-vacuum Straws: stored muon profile & independent EDM measurement E821

SPS points and slopes • SPS 1a: ``Typical '' mSUGRA point with intermediate value of tan_beta. • SPS 1b: ``Typical '' mSUGRA point with relatively high tan_beta; tau-rich neutralino and chargino decays. • SPS 2: ``Focus point '' scenario in mSUGRA; relatively heavy squarks and sleptons, charginos and neutralinos are fairly light; the gluino is lighter than the squarks • SPS 3: mSUGRA scenario with model line into ``co-annihilation region''; very small slepton-neutralino mass difference • SPS 4: mSUGRA scenario with large tan_beta; the couplings of A, H to b quarks and taus as well as the coupling of the charged Higgs to top and bottom are significantly enhanced in this scenario, resulting in particular in large associated production cross sections for the heavy Higgs bosons • SPS 5: mSUGRA scenario with relatively light scalar top quark; relatively low tan_beta • SPS 6: mSUGRA-like scenario with non-unified gaugino masses • SPS 7: GMSB scenario with stau NLSP • SPS 8: GMSB scenario with neutralino NLSP • SPS 9: AMSB scenario www.ippp.dur.ac.uk/~georg/sps/sps.html
