Computing the Hadronic Vacuum Polarization Contribution to the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment in Lattice QCD

The Fermilab muon g-2 experiment is expected to reach its precision goal of 120 ppb within the next two years. The uncertainty in Standard Model predictions of this quantity is dominated by hadronic corrections. I will report on the status of the Fermilab, HPQCD, and MILC Collaborations' multi-year project to compute the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution (HVP) in lattice QCD at sub-percent precision. In our newly-generated data set we employ noise reduction techniques to handle large statistical errors in contributions from light quarks, which comprise roughly 90% of the total HVP. I will present preliminary results on the light quark connected contribution to the HVP as well as other HVP observables obtained from this new data set.
