The authors report the results of a study of the exclusive charmless semileptonic decay, B0 → π-ℓ+v, undertaken with approximately 227 million B$$\bar{B}$$ pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. The analysis uses events in which the signal B decays are reconstructed with an innovative loose neutrino reconstruction technique. They obtain partial branching fractions in 12 bins of q2, the momentum transfer squared, from which they extract the f +(q2) form-factor shape and the total branching fraction β(B0 → π-ℓ+v) = (1.46 ± 0.07stat ± 0.08syst) x 10-4. Based on a recent unquenched lattice QCD calculation of the form factor in the range q2 > 16 GeV2/c4, they find the magnitude of the CKM matrix element |Vub| to be (4.1 ± 0.2stat ± 0.2syst$$+0.6\atop{-0.4}$$FF}) x 10-3, where the last uncertainty is due to the normalization of the form factor.
