The calculation of differential cross sections of electron scattering on neutral boron in ground 1s22s22p 2P state is carried out with the B-spline R-matrix method (BSR) for energy from reaction threshold to ~30 eV. The multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method with nonorthogonal orbitals was used to generate and represent precisely the target wavefunctions. The close-coupling expansion includes 28 bound states of neutral boron: 8 physical states and 20 pseudostates. The differential 3D cross sections of elastic scattering, and the excitation of important transitions from ground state of boron is presented.
