Recommended values for state selective capture cross sections are presented for the collision B5+ + H(1s) in the energy range from 0.05 to 1000 keV amu−1. Special attention is focused on capture processes to n = 7 states of B4+, which play an important role in spectral diagnostics in fusion plasmas. In order to completely cover the intermediate impact energy domain, quantal, semi-classical and classical treatments have been employed for low, low-intermediate and intermediate-high energies, respectively. We also give some guidelines about the domain of accuracy of the methodologies employed. Additionally, preliminary cross sections of the B5+ + H(2s) collision are also provided.
