dc.descriptionWe report preliminary results from a study of the charmless exclusive semileptonic decay B0 -> pi- l+ nu based on the data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance using the BABAR detector at SLAC. The analysis uses events in which the signal B meson recoils against a B meson that has been reconstructed in a semileptonic decay B0bar -> D(*)+ l- nubar. We extract the total branching fraction BF(B0 -> pi- l+ nu) = (1.03 +/- 0.25(stat.) +/- 0.13(syst.)) x 10^-4 and the partial branching fractions in three bins of q^2, the invariant mass squared of the lepton-neutrino system. From the partial branching fractions and theoretical predictions for the form factors, we determine the magnitude of the CKM matrix element |Vub|. We find |Vub| = (3.3 +/- 0.4(stat.) +/- 0.2(syst.) +0.8/-0.4(FF)) x 10^-3, where the last error is due to normalization of the form factor.
