A new evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarisation contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment and to α(mZ2)

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--> hadrons cross-section data together with a phenomenological fit of the threshold region in the evaluation of the dispersion integrals. The precision in the individual datasets cannot be fully exploited due to discrepancies that lead to additional systematic uncertainty in particular between BABAR and KLOE data in the dominant pi+pi- channel. For the muon (g-2)/2, we find for the lowest-order hadronic contribution (694.0 +/- 4.0)center dot 10(-10). The full Standard Model prediction differs by 3.3 sigma from the experimental value. The five-quark hadronic contribution to alpha(m(Z)(2)) is evaluated to be (276.0 +/- 1.0)center dot 10(-4).
