Short- and Intermediate-distance Windows Hadronic Vacuum Polarization Contributions to the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment

Precise measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) presents an exciting opportunity to search for evidence of beyond the Standard Model physics. Precise calculations of the hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contribution are necessary to compare with experiment. We present recent results for short- and intermedate-distance windows in euclidean time using highly improved staggered quarks. Results for the connected light-quark contribution dominate, but subleading contributions such as from strange and charm quarks, disconnected diagrams, isospin breaking, and electromagnetic effects will also be discussed. (Some results may be blinded.)
