description

The pion transition form factor for the neutral pion double virtual photon decay is computed in two flavor lattice QCD, extrapolated to the continuum physical point. Implications for the computation of the contribution of hadronic light-by-light scattering to the muon anomalous magnetic moment are discussed.
