abstract
We have calculated the NLO corrections for the leading twist amplitude of the reaction $\gamma^*\gamma\to\pi\pi$ at large virtuality of the photon and at $W^2\ll Q^2$. With a simple model for the two-pion quark and gluon distribution amplitudes we have estimated that the NLO effects may reduce the leading-order amplitude by as much as 30%. We have found that besides the usual twist-2 quark and gluon operators the NLO amplitude receives contribution from a distribution associated with twist-2 tensor gluon operator. The new gluon distribution can be investigated by studying the azimuthal asymmetry of the cross section for $e+\gamma\to e'+\pi\pi$.
