Precision measurement of $\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\gamma)/\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-\gamma)$ and determination of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ contribution to the muon anomaly with the KLOE detector

2012
We have measured the ratio $\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow\ pi^+\ pi^-\gamma)/\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-\gamma)$, with the KLOE detector at DA$\Phi$NE for a total integrated luminosity of $\sim$ 240 pb$^{-1}$. From this ratio we obtain the cross section $\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow\ pi^+\ pi^-)$. From the cross section we determine the pion form factor $|F_\ pi|^2$ and the two-pion contribution to the muon anomaly $a_\mu$ for $0.592 pi\pi}<0.975$ GeV, $\Delta^{\ pi\pi} a_\mu$= $({\rm 385.1\pm1.1_{stat}\pm2.7_{sys+theo}})\times10^{-10}$. This result confirms the current discrepancy between the Standard Model calculation and the experimental measurement of the muon anomaly.
