Abstract: (APS)
We have calculated the three-photon exchange contribution to the sixth-order anomalous magnetic moment of the leptons. Our result for the electron-loop contribution to the muon moment (18.4±1.1) (απ)3 brings the theoretical prediction into agreement with the CERN measurements within the 1-standard-deviation experimental accuracy. The result for the electron-loop contribution to the electron moment is (0.36±0.04) (απ)3. The theoretical errors represent the accuracy of the required seven-dimensional numerical integrations.
