The hadronic vacuum polarisation contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, a had,VP µ are evaluated dispersively via a combination of experimentally measured e + e − → hadrons cross section data. Many experiments have dedicated programmes to precisely measure these final states, meaning that a vast amount of data is now available and that, in some cases, overall precision has reached the sub-percent level. However, data tensions are evident between measurements of the same hadronic channels from different experiments, which reduces the overall quality of the data combinations used to determine a had, VP µ . The inclusion of these data in the KNT18 analysis results in a had, LO VP µ = (693.26 ± 2.46) × 10 −10 and a had, NLO VP µ = (−9.82 ± 0.04) × 10 −10 . The corresponding new estimate for the Standard Model prediction is found to be a SM µ = (11 659 182.04 ± 3.56) × 10 −10 , which is 3.7σ below the current experimental measurement.
