    In this paper, by employing the kTk_{T} factorization theorem, we made the first calculation for the space-like scalar pion form factor Q2F(Q2)Q^2 F(Q^2) at the leading order (LO) and the next-to-leading order (NLO) level, and then found the time-like scalar pion form factor Fa,Iβ€²(1)F'^{(1)}_{\rm a,I} by analytic continuation from the space-like one. From the analytical evaluations and the numerical results, we found the following points: (a) the NLO correction to the space-like scalar pion form factor has an opposite sign with the LO one but is very small in magnitude, can produce at most 10%10\% decrease to LO result in the considered Q2Q^2 region; (b) the NLO time-like scalar pion form factor Fa,Iβ€²(1)F'^{(1)}_{\rm a,I} describes the O(Ξ±s2){\cal O}(\alpha_s^2) contribution to the factorizable annihilation diagrams of the considered B→ππB \to \pi\pi decays, i.e. the NLO annihilation correction; (c) the NLO part of the form factor Fa,Iβ€²(1)F'^{(1)}_{\rm a,I} is very small in size, and is almost independent with the variation of cutoff scale ΞΌ0\mu_0, but this form factor has a large strong phase around βˆ’55∘-55^\circ and may play an important role in producing large CP violation for B→ππB\to \pi\pi decays; and (d) for B0β†’Ο€+Ο€βˆ’B^0 \to \pi^+\pi^- and Ο€0Ο€0 \pi^0\pi^0 decays, the newly known NLO annihilation correction can produce only a very small enhancement to their branching ratios, less than 3%3\% in magnitude, and therefore we could not interpret the well-known ππ\pi\pi-puzzle by the inclusion of this NLO correction to the factorizable annihilation diagrams.Comment: 26 pages, 12 figures, 1 Table; Minor correction
