Abstract
Anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, \(a_{\mu }=(g_{\mu }-2)/2\), is one of the most precisely measured quantities in particle physics and it provides a stringent test of the Standard Model. The planned improvements of the experimental precision at Fermilab and at J-PARC propel further reduction of the theoretical uncertainty of \(a_{\mu }\). The hope is that the efforts on both sides will help resolve the current discrepancy between the experimental measurement of \(a_{\mu }\) and its theoretical prediction, and potentially gain insight into new physics. The dominant sources of the uncertainty in the theoretical prediction of \(a_{\mu }\) are the errors of the hadronic contributions. I will discuss recent progress on determination of hadronic contributions to \(a_{\mu }\) from lattice calculations.
