Combining the precisely measured q2 spectrum of B -> pi l nu decay by the BABAR and Belle collaborations with several parametrizations of the form factor f +(q(2)), we can extract these couplings from the residue of the form factor at the B* pole, which relies on an extrapolation of the form factor from the semileptonic region to the unphysical point q(2) = m(B*)(2). Comparing the extracted values with the other experimental and theoretical estimates, we can test these various form-factor parametrizations, which differ from each other by the amount of physical information embedded in. It is found that the extracted values based on the Becirevic-Kaidalov, Ball-Zwicky and Bourrely-Caprini-Lellouch parametrizations are consistent with each other and roughly in agreement with the other theoretical and lattice estimates, while the Boyd-Grinstein-Lebed ansatz, featured by a spurious, unwanted pole at the threshold of the cut, gives a neatly larger value.", optnote="ISI:000288244700003", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=553), last updated on Wed, 13 Apr 2011 12:28:50 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.83.054019", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1011.0269", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.83.054019", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1011.0269", language="English" }
