A classical calculation of the leptonic magnetic moment

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that classical concepts and heuristic extended field configurations can be used to compute the leptonic magnetic moment, including perturbative corrections in alpha, challenging the need for purely quantum approaches.

Contribution

It introduces a classical framework with heuristic extended fields to calculate the leptonic magnetic moment and its corrections, offering an alternative to quantum field theory methods.

Findings

Classical concepts can approximate leptonic magnetic moments.

Perturbative corrections in alpha are achievable classically.

Provides a new perspective on leptonic magnetic moment calculations.

Abstract

In this paper we will show that purely classical concepts based on a few heuristic considerations about extended field configurations are enough to compute the leptonic magnetic moment with corrections in $\alpha$-power perturbative expansion.
