Description

We report on recent exclusive semileptonic B decay results from BaBar. We get the total branching fractions for the decay channels : B --> pi ell nu, B --> rho ell nu, B --> eta(') ell nu and B --> Ds K ell nu_bar. From the partial branching fractions measured in the B --> pi ell nu channel, we obtain values of the CKM matrix element |V_{ub}| using three different QCD calculations.
