Abstract

We briefly review the predictions of holographic QCD in hard-wall AdS/QCD models for the contribution of pseudoscalars and axial-vector mesons to the hadronic light-by-light amplitude and consequently to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, which allows one to satisfy the Melnikov-Vainshtein constraint in a purely hadronic model. Moreover, we discuss the role of tensor mesons in satisfying the remaining short-distance constraints, and provide details for a minimal model of tensor mesons that turns out to agree remarkably well with available data from BELLE as well as preliminary low-$Q^2$ data from BESIII. In an appendix, we also provide analytical results for the short-distance limits in hQCD and compare with the leading-order OPE result as given by the massless quark loop.

Electromagnetic tails of $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes

We investigate electromagnetic corrections to the $B$-meson decay constant and light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) within the framework of heavy-quark effective theory. The inclusion of QED effects extends the support of the LCDAs to negative values of the light-cone momentum. We clarify the relation between thi...

The hadronic-vacuum-polarization contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment in isospin-symmetric lattice QCD with twisted-mass fermions

We present a lattice-QCD calculation of the leading-order hadronic-vacuum-polarization (HVP) contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in isospin-symmetric QCD. We employ the gauge configurations generated by the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) with $N_f = 2 + 1 + 1$ flavors of Wilson-clover...

Radial Excitation Spectra of Light Pseudoscalar and Vector Mesons in Light-Front Holographic QCD

The non-perturbative regime of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) poses significant challenges for analytical treatment. Light-Front Holographic QCD (LFHQCD) offers an effective semiclassical framework for exploring hadronic structure through a holographic dual description of confinement. While the standard soft-wall model,...

Next-to-Leading-Order Calculation of the Light Tensor $(J^P=2^+)$ Hybrid Correlation Function

We report on the QCD calculations underlying a next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD Laplace sum-rule analysis of the light tensor $(J^P = 2^+)$ hybrid meson mass and coupling. This article focuses on the calculation of the NLO perturbative and leading-log NLO non-perturbative contributions. The diagrammatic renormalization...

First-Principles Determination of the QCD Contribution to the Axion-Photon Coupling Using Domain-Wall Fermions

The axion-photon coupling, crucial for experimental axion searches and tests of the strong CP solution, receives a substantial model-independent contribution $\mathcal C_{\rm QCD}$ from QCD dynamics. Next-to-leading-order chiral perturbation theory (NLO ChPT) in different frameworks has yielded puzzling discrepancies o...

Probing the Electromagnetic Structure of Heavy-Light Hybrid Mesons with Vector and Axial-Vector Quantum Numbers

We investigate the electromagnetic (EM) properties of vector and axial-vector heavy-light hybrid mesons within the light cone QCD sum rules framework. These states are characterized by an explicit gluonic degree of freedom and are studied through interpolating currents corresponding to the $J^{P(C)}=1^{-(-)}$, $1^{+(-)...
