dc.descriptionIn this paper we present the result of a direct QCD sum rule calculation of the transition form factor γγ* -> pi^o in the region of moderately large invariant momentum Q^2 > 1GeV^2 of the virtual photon. In contrast to pQCD, we make no assumptions about the shape of the pion distribution amplitude ϕ_π(x). Our results agree with the Brodsky-Lepage proposal that the Q^2-dependence of this form factor is given by an interpolation between its Q^2=0 value fixed by the axial anomaly and 1/Q^2 pQCD behaviour for large Q^2, with normalization corresponding to the asymptotic form ϕ_π^as (x)=6 f_πx (1-x) of the pion distribution amplitude. Our prediction for the from factor $F_{γ^*γ^*π^\circ}(q_1^2 = 0,q_2^2 = -Q^2)$ is in good agreement with new CLEO data.
