  1. We present the estimation of the long distance behaviour of the vector-vector correlator computed on a lattice QCD ensemble generated with 2 + 1 flavour physical Wilson clover quarks. The long distance regime of the correlator is dominated by multi-hadronic scattering states. We reconstruct the correlator in this regime using the pion-pion scattering states in the 𝐼 = 1 channel. The vector-vector correlator appears in the integrand to estimate the hadronic vacuum polarization contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Therefore, an improved estimation of the correlator will help resolve the tension between (𝑔 − 2)𝜇 experiment and theory.

  2. In common with a number of simple processes involving elementaryparticles, charged pion decays are profoundly shaped by applicableStandard Model (SM) symmetries and properties. Given the highly preciseSM theoretical description, pion decays are used as selective probes ofSM parameters, and of possible SM extensions. The PEN experiment at PSIis studying the \pi^+ \to e^+\nu_e(\gamma) π + → e + ν e ( γ ) ,or \pi_{e2(\gamma)} π e 2 ( γ ) decay. The primary goal is to reach the relative precision of 5 \times 10^{-4} 5 × 10 − 4 in R_{e/\mu}^\pi R e / μ π ,the branching ratio for \pi_{e2(\gamma)} π e 2 ( γ ) decay. We review the PEN research program, its present status, andprospects.
