To extract the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element |Vub|, we have re-analyzed all the available inputs (data and theory) on the B → πℓν decays including the newly available inputs on the form-factors from light cone sum rule (LCSR) approach. We have reproduced and compared the results with the procedure taken up by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group (HFLAV), while commenting on the effect of outliers on the fits. After removing the outliers and creating a comparable group of data-sets, we mention a few scenarios in the extraction of |Vub|. In all those scenarios, the extracted values of |Vub| are higher than that obtained by HFLAV. Our best results for |Vub|exc. are (3.94 ± 0.14) × 10−3 and $$ \left({3.93}_{-0.15}^{+0.14}\right) $$

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
