The power suppressed amplitude which describes the Pauli () coupling in the
decay is calculated within the effective field theory framework. It is shown that at the leading-order approximation this contribution is factorisable and the overlap with the hadronic final state can be described by collinear matrix elements. The obtained contribution depends on the nucleon light-cone distribution amplitudes of twist-3 and twist-4. This result is used for a qualitative phenomenological analysis of existing data for
decay: branching ratio and the angular distribution in the cross section
. It is found that the power corrections provide a large numerical effect.
