A precise measurement of the cross section of the process e+ e- to pi+ pi- (gamma) from threshold to an energy of 3 GeV is obtained with the initial state radiation (ISR) method using 232 fb^-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at e+ e- center-of-mass energies near 10.6 GeV. The ISR luminosity is determined from a study of the leptonic process e+ e- to mu+ mu- gamma (gamma). The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly calculated using the pi pi cross section measured from threshold to 1.8 GeV is (514.1 +-2.2(stat} +-3.1(syst}) x 10^{-10}.

  1. Muon $g$$-$2: correlation-induced uncertainties in precision data combinations

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A general framework quantifies correlation-induced uncertainties in precision data combinations and applies it to e+e- to hadrons cross sections for muon g-2 HVP determinations.
