Abstract
We consider the production of a lepton-antilepton pair by real photons off a hadronic target. The interference of one and two-photon exchange amplitudes leads to a charge asymmetry term that may be calculated explicitly in the large-$t$ limit in terms of hadronic distribution amplitudes. A rather compact expression emerges for the leading order asymmetry at fixed angle in the center-of-mass of the lepton pair. The magnitude appears sizeable and is approximately independent of the pair mass in the asymptotic limit.
