The neutron capture reaction B(n,)Li has been investigated via the Trojan Horse Method from 0 to 1 MeV. The and channels, corresponding to Li in its g.s. and 1st excited level respectively, have been analyzed and cross sections have been measured for the two reaction channels. Angular distributions for the B energy levels in the explored range have been extracted and compared with literature, while the J of the level at MeV (4 keV before the emission threshold) has been clearly determined for the first time.
