Abstract

Abstract We reevaluate the hadronic vacuum polarisation contributions to the muon magnetic anomaly and to the running of the electromagnetic coupling constant at the Z -boson mass. We include newest $$e^+e^- \rightarrow \mathrm{hadrons}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:msup><mml:mi>e</mml:mi><mml:mo>+</mml:mo></mml:msup><mml:msup><mml:mi>e</mml:mi><mml:mo>-</mml:mo></mml:msup><mml:mo>→</mml:mo><mml:mi>hadrons</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math> cross-section data together with a phenomenological fit of the threshold region in the evaluation of the dispersion integrals.
